IEBC talks collapse after NASA representaives walk out

IEBC talks with stakeholders collapsed on Thursday after NASA representatives walked out of the meeting.

Siaya Senator James Orengo said the Jubilee party has come up with a proposed Bill they cannot accept.

The Bill states that the results of the next presidential election will be determined by what is transmitted manually.

It seeks to amend the IEBC Act, the Election Act and the Elections Offences Act by giving manually transmitted results more clout than the electronically transmitted ones.

“The rules of the game should be agreed by all players. They should be fair and justifiable. Jubilee Party is arrogant,” Orengo said.

Orengo said the Bill is an example of what President Uhuru Kenyatta termed as “fixing” the Judiciary if he wins the October 26 repeat election.

“This meeting with IEBC doesn’t make any sense. We shall leave Jubilee to do whatever they wish and want, but they should be held responsible for what happens thereafter,” the NASA politician said.

He said they went to the meeting in good spirit only to be disappointed.

“It looks like this is an exercise in futility and our participation makes no sense.The chairman of the commission also feels the same way,” he said.
