While on a campaign trail in Kibra, Nairobi County on Tuesday, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader said that Matiang’i, who was named acting Interior CS after the demise of Joseph Nkaissery, was plotting to rig elections in the name of security.

“Matiang’i is the Jubilee point man in Nyamira and we’ll not allow him to interfere with IEBC as we know he’s working on behalf of Jubilee,” said Odinga.

“Matiang’i should make a choice whether he is a Jubilee political player or a public servant.” His running mate Kalonzo Musyoka said.
