Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr has now called on the Cord coalition to drop its lawsuit on the voters' register audit to allow time for clean-up.
The Senator said there was an urgency to deal with the matter now that the elections are due August, and time was running out.
“I am asking the Cord coalition to find a method even if it is withdrawing the case that is in the court to so that we can find a method of auditing this register as soon as possible,” said Mutula as quoted by Citizen Digital.
Mutua has put a blame on failure to use technology in the currently alleged double registration by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission saying the situation is worse than was initially thought.
“This crisis would not be there if the country had agreed to use technology as a method of identifying persons and as a method of registering persons,” Mutula said.
“The cases that we have had in Makueni alone on persons who are holding double identities of people’s identity cards is something that should concern us immensely,” he added.
Mutula Jnr made the remarks at Nzeveni village in Kilome constituency, Makueni County during the burial of Major Nicholas Mulinge,
This comes barely days after a complaint by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, and his ODM counterpart Raila Odinga complained that their IDs had been used to register other people.
