In fresh election rigging claims, National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga has sensationally linked acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to poll manipulation scheme.
The former Prime Minister alleged that the CS is now working together with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to rig next month's elections in favor of Jubilee.
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.
The opposition outfit has on numerous ocassion accused Jubilee of scheming to manipulate results in the August 8 polls.
NASA has put measures to prevent rigging including the adopt a polling station initiative and crafting a parallel vote tallying center.

Kenyans are getting tired of this mad man.The ordinary Mwananchi has decided that they want Peace.Regardless of what this mad man says.It is time for the Mad Man to retire from politics.Not instigate nonsensical/sensational/stupid chaos.Kenyans are deciding that they will follow Jubilee's call for Peace. They will conduct themselves in a peaceful manner.They will go to the election in a timely,civil and peaceful manner.They will follow the Ruling Jubilee Party and vote for UHURUTO. Not allow a mad man to drive them to a constitutional crisis.
For lack of better words; I will simply say screw Raila. Common sense should dictate utterances. Or maybe he doesn't have common sense. We're getting tired of theatrics.
Raila should bring proof to the proper authorities of what he nows about this rigging, if he has no proof then he should only say what he knows to be factual not figment of his imagination. Is this the kind of president Kenya needs?, a person who cant tell the has no crew what is true and what is fiction?.
" NASA has put forward measures to prevent rigging..." So why is Raila complaining? There may be afew irregularities here and there due to human error. Even Big Brother-USA makes a few of them during presidential elections.However, there is a sure way of winning despite these irregularities,and that is to convince the majority of voters,or should I say potential voters that you are they one who can bring change that will improve their livelihood; and that is bring ,jobs, security,and improve their standard of living.
Raila should be CAMPAINING NOT COMPLAINING.

Like muuaji Moi,muuaji Raila,a licensed murderer feels that he owns Kenya(ns) and we cannot survive withot him.It's better for this devil to be planning for what to do next after August 8.Mara hii huepuki ukilete hiyo mauaji yako.
"Adopting-a-polling-station" is how Raila rigged in his strong-holds in 2007, when his supporters took over the running of polling stations. He does not want to see any state security that will prevent him from repeating the same, hence all this allegations against Matiang'i now and the late Nkaissery before. Law and order don't seem to favour him...
