Deputy President William Ruto in a post shared in his social media accounts has now claimed that there’s an elaborate plan to rig election in favor of Raila Odinga.
Ruto was responding to reports published in the media that legislators allied to the President and ODM leader Raila Odinga were pushing to amend the law restricting IEBC to stream live the election results.
He stated that the efforts to amend is a choreographed attempt to install a puppet leader.
“The never-ending onslaught through election law amendments is a choreographed attempt to install a puppet on the Kenyan electorate and sabotage our freedom of choice and hard-earned democracy. The plan is evil and must fail. The people have resoundingly said HATUPANGWINGWI,” his post read in part.
He noted that there are desperate efforts aimed at mutilating the rule of law in favor of the former Prime Minister.
“The desperate efforts to install project kitendawili by forceful, illegal, undemocratic & unconstitutional means portends a troubling future for Kenya, its democracy, the rule of law, freedom of its citizens and, ultimately, everyone’s well-being,” he added
Ruto further warned that if the plans to amend the law then Kenya’s sovereignty is under a grave threat.
“The assaults on the Constitution through reckless legislative and administrative sleights off-hand, by dark forces operating in shadows, are fundamental ingredients of a coup — the sovereignty of the people of Kenya is under grave threat,” said the DP.
It’s not yet clear if those pushing for the amendment will continue with their plans to amend the law. The 2017 general election was marred by election malpractices that led to the cancellation of the Presidential results.
The Deputy President while in a campaign tour in Kirinyaga county told the President not to force a candidate to the people of Kenya in the forthcoming election, a message reiterated by his lieutenants.
