Raila: Our Faith in IEBC Remains Zero
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has denied that an agreement was reached between him and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) at a meeting held at the Bomas of Kenya on Tuesday.
Speaking during at a media briefing on Wednesday at the Okoa Kenya offices in Lavington, the former Prime Minister said the meeting dis not bear any fruits. On Tuesday evening, the electoral commission termed the talks as fruitful after meeting both Jubilee and Nasa, a claim that Raila has dismissed.
"Let no one say that we have any agreement or arrangement with the IEBC. We do not. As it stands, our faith in the IEBC remains zero," said Odinga at the Okoa Kenya offices in Lavington.
Raila said the conditions dubbed "irreducible minimums" they submitted to IEBC must be met before the repeat election is conducted.
"We presented a document of things we wanted implemented before we go to the fresh polls. They gave us a matrix which does not respond to any of the fundamental issues we raised," said Odinga.
He added: "Nothing is agreed until it is totally agreed."
He maintained that their bi-weekly anti-IEBC demonstrations every Monday and Friday will go on until IEBC chief executive Ezra Chiloba and 11 other officials vacate from office.
Raila and his team also want Dubai-based printing firm Al Ghurair and French biometrics firm, OT-Morpho be blocked from being part of the fresh poll.

Your faith in IEBC is Zero; and the faith of 60% of Kenyans with your leadership and that of NASA is at -30% at best. Over 60% of Kenyans have faith with the IEBC. Remember, “macho ya chura hayamzuii ngombe kunywa maji.”

This time the more NASA engages in anti-IEBC protest.The more people are going to be disgusted by the NASA party and its leadership.This is going to cause even more people to be attracted to the jubilee party. IEBC should continue on with its duties undeterred. The jubilee Party should continue to support the IEBC.

The supreme court of Kenya wrongfully stole the election from the Jubilee party by annulling the clear (1.4M) will and win of the Kenyan Electorate.Therefore, the Jubilee Party should move undeterred to make election law amendments.The Election law amendments should seal all the loopholes that were wrongfully taken advantage of by the irresponsible supreme court ruling.We need to ensure that never again will the supreme court of Kenya have the power to take Kenyans thru risk and costly unnecessary repeat elections.

I don't think anyone expects NASA to have any confidence in IEBC. This is nothing new but come Oct 26, you will have to participate in elections. Those wazungus you run to every time are slowly throwing you under the bus. Who will you run to this time? Magufuli, M7? Throwing the country to anarchy will give you a free ride to ICC. Make no mistake, Jubilee will hand you over in a blink of an eye. Remember how you wanted UhuruRuto in ICC? You are better of sitting down with IEBC and sorting all this out in good faith now that you still have their ears.

IEBC must adhere to the reforms requested by NASA .If the referee is biased it goes without saying that the results will be biased again and frankly Kenyans cannot afford it. There goes those retarted Jubilee leaders promising free secondary education to all students.This is the same government that has refused to pay nurses, continously ignores teachers who are always going on strike for better pay.There are already too many graduates with no jobs too many universities and the quality of university education has gone down the drain yet this so called party of Maendeleo hopes to somehow get money from space so that high school students no longer have to worry about school fees. Pay the teachers, pay the lecturers, pay the nurses, and provide laptops to standard one pupils as you promised 5 years ago. Maendeleo ya wizi another 5 years I do not think so.
