Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen has castigated claims by Opposition leader Raila Odinga, over plots by the Jubilee government, to rig in the August polls.
According to Nasa (Opposition), President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration is working with some Military officers the National Intelligence Service (NIS), and the Police, to doctor the elections.
However, Murkomen, a strong Jubilee ally, dismissed claims by Odinga, saying he had sensed defeat.
He accused him of treading on the 2007/2008 Post Election Violence, adding that his claims were mere propaganda.
"Tinga (Raila) is rewriting 2007 script and doing everything to explain his impending defeat. No amount of propaganda will take this nation to war again," Murkomen said on Twitter.He added that the only way Nasa can win or be in government, is through a coalition government, or rigging, which he warned Jubilee would not allow."The only way Nasa can be in government is through nusu mkate (coalition). How? Discredit IEBC, bungle the elections and cause chaos. We will not allow," noted the Senate Deputy Minority Leader.
