Opposition leaders Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Mosyoka, Moses Wetang'ula and James Orengo risk being punished by the courts for the ongoing anti-IEBC protests.

Yesterday, five Jubilee MPs filed contempt of court proceedings against the CORD leaders accusing them of defying orders that sought to restrain them and their supporters from engaging in chaotic demonstrations.
Justice Joseph Onguto, who certified the matter as urgent, directed Mr Orengo to appear in court on May 26 since he had been adversely mentioned in the contempt petition.
