Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula is to blame for the election chaos that have hit Bungoma county for the past two days.
This is according to Jubilee leaders in the county.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, MPs John Waluke (Sirisia), Dan Wanyama (Webuye West) and Mwambu Mabonga (Bumula) said they had credible information that the senator paid youths to cause the chaos and destroy property.
"Bungoma had been peaceful and residents never participated in anti-IEBC protests. Why now yet Bungoma voted in the just concluded polls?" asked Waluke.
He said Wetang'ula and Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi were spotted in Bungoma during the demonstrations on Friday.
Two civilians were shot dead by police officers during the protests.
"It is surprising that instead of participating in development, he is busy inciting youths to violence," he said.
Wanyama on his part accused the Senator of inciting youths so as to get the minority seat in Parliament .
"We are aware there is pressure for him to be replaced as minority leader and that he has resorted to engaging in that so he can be viewed as a strong supporter of Raila," he said.
"I am calling on the youths to be peaceful and engage in activities such as those of the National Youth Service," he added.
