Deputy President William Ruto was Involved in Election Rigging Scheme, Raila Claims

Opposition Chief Raila Odinga claims that Deputy President William Ruto was part of the August 8th General Election rigging gang in favour of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Speaking during a press conference at the Panari Hotel on Sunday, the National Super Alliance presidential candidate alleged that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) CEO, Ezra Chiloba, worked with Deputy President to manipulate election results to the advantage of President Uhuru.

Raila further accused French Biometrics firm, Safran Morpho of engaging in discussions with IEBC officials to interfere with the August poll.

"Why should Kenya trust these institutions? Is it because the IEBC went to a retreat and buried their hatchet? Is it because Safran gave itself a clean of bill? Is it because IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba answered the Chebukati memo and gave it to DP William Ruto?" asked Raila.

The former Prime Minister maintained that that OT-Morpho KIEMS kits that were used cannot be trusted to run another election.

He also reiterated that the Electoral Commission colluded with the Jubilee Government to rig him out, referring to the two parties as ‘partners in crime’.

The Orange Democratic Leader launched a campaign against the October repeat election. He said that Kenyans will not allow IEBC, as currently constituted to conduct another election.

Raila said IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba, Commissioner Andi Guliye, Betty Nyabuto – Deputy Commission Secretary (Operations), James Muhati, Director ICT, Immaculate Kassait, Director Voter Registration and Elections Operations, Praxedes Tororey, Director Legal and Public Affairs and Moses Kipkogey, Manager Legal Department be shown the door.

"I urge this officials to salvage what they can and run. Kenyans are coming for you," Raila said.

It is continuous sideshows from this idiot forever. He does not want any elections because the only free and fare election to him is only where he wins. What a nasty loser.

What are the legal consequences of Raila’s threat to either pull-out or impede the holding of the fresh election ordered by the Supreme Court unless his impossible sounding conditions are met by IEBC ?

Without a doubt, such a scenario will plunge Kenya into a constitutional crisis which would have to be cured by either a NASA-instigated civilian coup (read nusu mkate care-taker government) or a Jubilee-led Palace coup in which the Jubilee Party damns the Constitution and claims Kenyans had already given Uhuru a new mandate in August. 

The latter option is becoming more likely by the day.

All this because Raila the Narcissist will not accept defeat.He would rather destroy all state institutions than accept defeat.He would rather expose his supporters to the wrath of the police than accept defeat.He would rather use the law to steal the election from the Kenyan Electorate than accept defeat.He would rather have our students not seat for an exam for another whole year than accept defeat.He does not care for the Peace and Stability of the country.No, he just wants to power at any cost.Meanwhile those that hold constitutional offices that are supposed to stand up to this form of garbage are not standing up to him,Rather they are carrying the dirty water for him.At the same time many Kenyan Families regardless of whether they are Kikuyu or Luo are left with memories of loved ones that have been lost as a consequence of this demagogues shenanigans.

President Uhuru, please wake up. Time to take action on this fool, for inciting the masses. Patience is a virtue but enough is enough. If this fool was in a neighboring country he would be loting in a hard labor prison. He just want to see the country burn to the ground. He has nothing to offer the masses but total chaos. God have mercy on Wananchi. Peace.
