A section of people affected by the 2007-2008 post-election violence have threatened to parade outside Cord leaders’ homes over their rioting against the IEBC.
The group lead by their coordinator Esther Namulanda gave Raila and his team a seven-day notice to stop demonstrating and pushing for IEBC’s ouster lest they camp outside their homes.
“We inform the Cord leadership that we will work out our rights to dissent and we shall mobilise our colleagues and picket outside the homes of Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula,” the team was quoted by The Star.
Namulanda told Cord to follow the constitution guidelines to disband IEBC instead of making meaningless noise in the streets.
“We are asking the politicians, whom we pay a lot of money, to transact their business in parliament and not on the streets,” Namulanda added.
The victims reminded Kenyans that 1,300 lives were lost during the violence that left more than 600,000 homeless. She feared the re-emergence of violence in 2017 during elections if Cord persists with rioting.
Cord has in the last three weeks been rioting demanding IEBC disbandment and its officials who they have continually accused of rigging elections and incompetent to offer free and fair elections.
The opposition has expressed displeasure with the IEBC and allegedly fears taking the disbandment motion to parliament saying Jubilee MP’s would use tyranny of numbers to kill it.
President Uhuru Kenyatta on his tour in North Eastern region urged Cord to use the legal process to disband the electoral body telling them that going the streets would not help them.
