A furious opposition leader Raila Odinga says NASA will not go for an election that will be presided over by a section of Wafula Chebukati’s IEBC.
The latest statement could further sabotage the country’s constitutional provisions which dictate that after nullification of elections, elections to be held within 60 days.
And in response to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ultimatums, Odinga insisted that IEBC must be cleaned to pave way for people with integrity.
“I heard Jubilee saying that they want elections to be held in 40 days. I want to assure them that it is just a dream.
“We cannot allow the same institution that messed with integrity of Kenyans to oversee a serious process and that is an assurance I am giving,” he said.
On Friday, Chebukati seemed to absolve himself from electoral malpractices and instead called for prosecution of unnamed people.
He further promised to ensure a systematic cleansing is done before Kenya goes for elections in 60 days time.
