Kiambu Town Member of Parliament (MP) Jude Njomo has told opposition leaders to stop giving Jubilee government ultimatums and conditions.
The MP said that opposition’s ultimatums amounts to blackmail, adding that Cord was using the IEBC issue to blackmail the Jubilee government.
“We know that Cord has another agenda apart from the IEBC issue and is only using the matter to blackmail the government,” he said.
The Kiambu Town legislator said that Jubilee government will not bow to blackmail, and asked President Kenyatta to remain firm and ensure that planned dialogue over IEBC stalemate is discussed within confines of the constitution.
The lawmaker also asked Cord leaders to completely call off their protests and give dialogue a chance.
On Sunday, Deputy President William Ruto said that the matter of IEBC will be fixed soon, noting that planned dialogue between Cord and Jubilee government will start soon.
Cord leaders have been pushing for disbandment of IEBC over claims that that the electoral body was allegedly planning to rig the 2017 elections in favour of the ruling Jubilee government.
Cord and Jubilee have already nominated members to a joint parliamentary committee that is expected to over the IEBC talks.
