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.Tobiko asked Muhoro to complete the investigations within 21 days.However Wetangula said the two and the entire Nasa coalition did not contravene any law, by saying they may not participate in the election, since it is any Kenyan's right not to participate in an election.According to him, "Nasa will not boycott election. We will not take part in the election if IEBC fails to address our irreducible minimums.""So we are calling on the DPP, not to be used by the government. We know him as a good person. You're protected. They can not get you out of office," he said, SaturdayWetangula, was speaking in Busia County.
