Government Spokesman Eric Kiraithe

Police are now investigating a conspiracy by a section of National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders to subvert the Constitution and the rule of law by sabotaging democratic Presidential Elections on 26th October 2017, government spokesman Eric Kiraithe has said.

According to the government spokesman, the conspiracy is aimed at capturing state power without following the imperatives of the constitution of Kenya 2010.

“The key pranks of the plan is bribery of compromised office holders in the judiciary and IEBC with huge sums of money, use of violence to prevent Kenyans from voting for a presidential candidate of their choice, radicalization of some communities to ignore the rule law and fanatically follow their commands,” Kiraithe said in statement to newsrooms.

The government is accusing NASA of inducing IEBC commissioners to resign at critical moments in the process so as to sabotage the elections.
