Shocking:CORD Senator Requests IEBC To Punish Raila Odinga And Kalonzo Musyoka

Nyamira Senator Kennedy Mong'are has sued the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for allowing politicians to flout election laws.

The Ford-Kenya Senator took to court faulting the electoral body for not taking action against leaders including Opposition's Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula who he said have been conducting premature campaigns.

 In the case filed on Tuesday at the High Court, the lawmaker noted that the leaders were contravening the Electoral Act, hence they should be punished by the Commission. Mr Mongare also mentioned Senators Bonny Khalwale (Kakamega), Hassan Omar (Mombasa), Mike Sonko (Nairobi) and Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua as some of those who should face action.

 Also in the list are governors and MPs who have clashed in public rallies such as Isaac Ruto and Joyce Laboso, Mwangi wa Iria and Jamleck Kamau, Lenny Kivuti and Cecily Mbarire, Peter Munya and Kiraitu Murungi, Hassan Joho and Hezron Awiti, Wycliffe Oparanya and Benjamin Washiali.

 He expressed fears that the ongoing early campaigns had heightened political temperatures and in some instances led to violent chaos. “Matters of Election are of paramount importance and any failure in complying with any act of parliament may be an avenue of national turmoil, chaos and integration of national policy,” the Nyamira Senator stated in his court papers.

 Last week, the IEBC warned that it would heavily punish politicians who were participating in early campaigns. The Commission directed that all billboards and banners erected in different locations across the country be brought down to avoid contravention of electoral regulations.

CORD Coalition Receives Another Big Blow From IEBC

The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) has been suffered a major blow after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) declined to implement one of its highly anticipated proposals.

IEBC on Friday made an announcement that, it would go ahead and audit the voters register despite opposition from the CORD coalition which had advocated for creation of a new register.

 The electoral body is now busy preparing for the coming general elections and all arrangements are in top gear .the process would start with the review of voter listings. “Eleven firms, who responded to the expression of interest, are being evaluated and those who meet the requirements will be invited to respond to a request for proposal,” the commission divulged.

The Opposition Raila Odinga,had rejected further plans relating to the upcoming polls questioning the legal capacity of the team since the commissioners had already tendered their resignation letters to President Uhuru Kenyatta. Siaya Senator James Orengo had earlier stated that,“The outgoing commissioners have no legal competence and cannot constitute the commission.

They cannot act in the capacity of commissioners,” CORD had also cautioned against procurement of electoral kits until a new team takes charge, a suggestion which IEBC has also rejected noting it was already preparing an ICT framework for use in the 2017 election.

The commission further stated that they are receiving public comments and contributions on the proposals to be included in the ICT regulations.

Why Opposition Leaders Raila Odinga And Kalonzo Musyoka May Be Locked Out Of 2017 Elections

Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery threatens to bar politicians from participating in 2017 elections if they incite Kenyans during their political rallies across the country.

Speaking in Mombasa County, Nkaiserry vowed to work with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to bar such politicians from participating in the upcoming General Election. “We want our leaders to address each other with respect in rallies.

We want you to sell your manifesto, ideas but not hate or inflammatory rhetoric. Let us avoid inciting others so that this country remains peaceful,” Nkaissery affirmed. The CS sent a stern warning to Opposition leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka that they could be likely victims if they continued inciting Kenyans with lies of land grabbing at the Coast.

 Don’t come here and incite Kenyans, tell them the truth that this or this person took land from so and so. “The issue of always telling the Coast people that their land has been stolen should stop”. The Interior CS further reiterated that, “You have been in government for so long, why you didn’t return these parcels of land to the rightful owners when you were in power? Stop politicking with the land to gain political mileage”.

The CS was speaking during the opening of 15-day registration exercise of the Makonde Community in Kwale County on Tuesday. It can be remembered that on October 13, the said community trailed all the way to State House demanding that to be recognized as Kenyan citizens.

 During their arrival at State House, President Uhuru Kenyatta served them with food and other delicacies and also took that chance to apologize to them on behalf of other Kenyans.

 The Makonde Group will now be issued with ID cards in December this year as the President directed.
