CORD too suspicious of 2017 election

Over the years, CORD leader Raila Odinga has complained of elections being rigged and his presidential victory getting stolen.

Finally, he has emerged with a so-called plan B.

By planning to hire a parallel tallying board which is expected to prevent the election from being rigged, many are curious to see how things will pan out.

Hopefully, this will be a step forward for the former Prime minister to counter any corruption that may happen during the voting and tallying process of the 2017 General Election.

However, this step may see yet another eruption of clashes in case results released by the Independent and Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) differs from those in record of the parallel tallying board.

The Government should maintain a high level of integrity during the election to prevent any form of rigging.

It should also  ensure the IEBC is free from any interference and favouritism from an individual candidate.
