A group of CORD leaders have accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of delaying the appointment of new poll commissioners and threatened to go back to the streets.

Led by senators James Orengo (Siaya) and Bonny Khalwale (Kakamega), the leaders warned that the Opposition will resume mass action in a week’s time if the National Treasury does not release money to pay off the current Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners to pave way for their replacements.
