Jubilee’s election agents in Ukambani region have come out guns blazing over nonpayment of the allowances accusing senior Government officers for being behind the crisis.
Led by Machakos County Jubilee’s Gubernatorial candidate Lemi Muia , some of the Jubilee representatives drawn from all corners of Ukambani said they were having difficult times dealing with hundreds of people who served as party agents in the just concluded elections saying that the money has been maliciously withheld by some senior government officials in Nairobi.
The tough talking Muia who is a University named Foreign affairs Permanent secretary (PS) Monica Juma, her ICT counterpart Dr Victor Kyalo and Dr Isaac Kalua saying that he has a water tight evidence that the trio colluded to ‘eat’ the money.
“ .. And I want to be specific, when I followed up I found out that one Ps for foreign affairs Monica Juma went to upper hill and withdrew the money purporting to represent Ukambani. When I sought audience with her at her offices she told me that she doesn’t care and that I should get out of her office,” said Lemi.
He called on investigations agencies to launch probe on the said officers warning that they will pursue the matter in Court if immediate action is not taken.
“This three officers do not mean well for the President and this three officers should not even hold a public office, we will provide a petition with signed affidavit for that matter to the EACC,” he added.
The leaders congratulated president Uhuru Kenyatta for the win telling off National Super Alliance ( NASA) leader Raila Odinga for attacking the Judiciary saying that it amounts to intimidation of the supreme court Judges.
This comes after NASA leaders Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula cast doubts on independence of Supreme Court in a case seeking to invalidate President Kenyatta’s win.
While speaking at Mombasa on Tuesday, NASA Presidential candidate Raila Odinga opened room for attack on the Judiciary by pouring water on the seven Judge bench set to prosecute a presidential election petition.
“Seven Individuals can be intimidated but, they can be compromised, and can make genuine mistakes, but we are launching a National Campaign on truth and Justice all over the Country” said Raila.
But Jubilee leaders now want Raila to withdraw such utterances and concede defeat
“Initially he had indicated that he will not petition the election outcome in Court, the wrong thing that Raila did is to participate in an election being sure of the win, let them concede defeat,” said Kalembe Ndile, Former Kibwezi law Mp.
He urged NASA chiefs to withdraw the case in court or else accept the outcome and keep off attacking the Judiciary.
