FORD Kenya party leader Moses Wetang’ula has accused the Jubilee government of plotting to kill multi-party democracy.
He claimed that the merger of Jubilee affiliate parties to form Jubilee Party was a scheme to re-introduce a one party state which made majority of Kenyans suffer.
Speaking yesterday at Kimalewa village, Kabuchai constituency in Bungoma County during the burial of Gabriel Khisa, MrWetang’ula assured that CORD affiliate parties will not dissolve but will move together as a coalition.
“FORD fought for multi-party democracy but Jubilee leaders want to kill what has helped many Kenyans, folding of all the 12 parties to join Jubilee Party that was launched yesterday is a sure way of destroying democracy but we in CORD won’t fold our affiliate parties,” he said.
The Bungoma Senator who is also CORD co-principal noted that Masinde Muliro and Kijana Wamalwa painstakingly fought for multi-partyism and Kenyans should protect the democratic gains achieved by their forefathers.

He affirmed that Ford Kenya, ODM and Wiper will remain together and they will use a democratic process to nominate the CORD presidential candidate.
“Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and I will sit and agree on who should lead CORD to unseat Jubilee coalition from power because they have failed Kenyans,” he said.
The senator claimed that the Jubilee administration was running a corrupt syndicate where public are being misappropriated by a few individuals. At the same time Wetang’ula asked Ford Kenya leaders who decamped to Jubilee Party to reflect on the move.
