[Photo Raila Odinga]NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga, has laughed off a directive by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) calling for his prosecution, alongside his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka.In a letter to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Ndegwa Muhoro, dated October 2, 2017, Tobiko also directed that the two be investigated for allegedly contravening Section 132 of the Penal Code.The DPP wants Odinga and Musyoka, investigated for alleged breach of Section 13 (k)(i) of the Elections Act, 2016, and for contempt of Supreme Court orders over for fresh presidential elections."I call on the DCI to undertake thorough comprehensive and expenditure investigations. I have also designated a team of senior prosecutors to provide technical guidance and assistance to investigating teams," Tobiko said.This is after one, Samuel Waweru through Harrison Kinayanjui & Co. Advocates, filed a petition, demanding prosecution of the duo, over their often sentiments that there will be no election and that they may not participate in the October 26, fresh election, if their irreducible minimums are not met by the IEBC.However, Odinga said nobody can arrest him, for not participating in an election, since it is any Kenyan's democratic right, to or not participate in an election.According to him, NASA will not participate in an election that is planned to be rigged, and that the orders by the DPP will not shake the coalition's stand.Unless, NASA's irreducible minimums are addressed, Raila said no election will be held.He was addressing the press when he met leaders from Kajiado County, led by Kajiado Central's Elijah Memusi, Monday.His statement comes few days after co-principal Moses Wetangula, defended them, over the matter, saying they committed no criminal offence to warrant their arrest.
