Raila Says Chebukati is a Criminal, should be Jailed

ODM leader Raila Odinga now says the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati is a criminal.

Odinga says Chebukati should be ”prosecuted and sentenced to jail” over his role in the August General Election.

Speaking In an exclusive interview with Citizen TV, Odinga accused Chebukati of committing a “crime against humanity,“.

He dismissed Chebukati as a person of “low standards” who allegedly rigged votes at the commission’s tallying centers.

“In my view, Chebukati is a criminal who should be prosecuted and sentenced to jail. What he has committed is a great crime against the humanity and people of this country,” he said.

“I believe strongly that he, not the other four commissioners, should be in the dock,” he added.

“For the first time, Kenyans saw an electoral commission that was divided, not in the middle, but four out of seven commissioners disputed the results, meaning a majority of the commissioners said the results were not a reflection of how Kenyans had voted,” he added.

He accused Chebukati of splitting the electoral body by “gazetting himself as the Returning Officer of the presidential election and declaring results which he himself knows where he got them from.”

Last week Chebukati described the August 2022 general elections as the most credible he has presided over as the IEBC boss.

Chebukati said he bares no regrets whatsoever following the disputed presidential election results that were upheld by the Supreme court.
