Raila Names 42 People in Fresh Rigging Claims
National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga has issued fresh vote rigging claims, naming 42 individuals drawn from Kenya police and military deployed by Jubilee to interfere with the forthcoming General Election.
Speaking in a press briefing at his Capitol Hill office in Nairobi on Thursday, the former Prime Minster said that the 42, picked from the Army, National Intelligence Service, General Service Unit and the Dog Unit have been hired to work as returning officers, clerks and party agents during the August 8 election.
“The decision was made at a meeting held on 23rd June where the officers work IDs were withdrawn and given the normal IDs,” he said.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader further said that the 42 officers were contacted by Government operatives on a secret plan.
“I’m not just making wild allegations,” he said. “Some of the officers have talked to us…we have evidence and will provide it.” he said while presenting the 42 names to the Media.
Raila said that Jubilee had resorted to planning on how to rig, after a poll conducted by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) indicated that NASA was poised to win the poll by all means. He urged the military to keep off the Elections and concentrate in their work.
"(They) must not be used to subvert the will of the people,” he said.
On Monday, Raila linked acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to Election rigging claims, saying that the CS was working with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) manipulate next month’s elections results in favor of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The guy is a mad man.He cannot be entrusted with the reigns of power in the country.He cannot be trusted with Peace in Kenya. UHURU is the man that Kenyans can entrust with PEACE in Kenya.Vote for UHURU for President.Vote for Jubilee.I think that even NASA supporters should seriously consider voting for UHURU for the top of the ticket.Kenyans regardless of whether they are in NASA or in Jubilee want Peace in Kenya.

With all these rigging endless allegations, Raila is preparing his supporters to go to war in the event that he is not the winner. Can he just shut up and continue with his campaign preaching peace?

Be careful my dear friend Raila.Majority of Kenyans have heard enough confusions from politicians.We Kenyans have made our final decision which is "actions speak more louder than words".
My friend can you tell Kenyans one important thing you have done other than organizing coups.
I wish you well now and after election. Be prepared for the worst
but keep on trying your luck.

Every market has a mad man - The Nasa market has my uncle Ojinga.
He knows he is losing and losing big to the team that preaches peace,delivers and implements the development agenda that Kenyans want of UHURUTO.

Even if this crazy evil demagogue were for once right, 42 officers can't make a dent on election with over 13,000 voting stations. Each officer can only be at one station! The National Integration and Cohesion commission should tell this mad man to stop inciting his brainwashed goons with unsubstantiated nonsense. Otherwise, crazy ODM thugs especially Luos will take his silly nonsense as Gospel truth; then foolishly throw themselves into the streets to fight and/or get killed on his behalf while their evil master and his family are comfortably enjoying life in their gated mansions in Karen.
