Nairobi, Kenya: CORD leaders have accused IEBC of colluding with Jubilee to frustrate Okoa Kenya initiative. In a statement read by Senator Moses Wetangula, CORD vowed to pursue all means possible to salvage the process.

Okoa Kenya proposal by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy to amend the Constitution had failed to meet the required threshold of a million signatures, said the electoral body.

In a plenary meeting held yesterday, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission adopted the report on the verification of signatures of registered voters in support of the proposed constitutional amendment presented by Okoa Kenya initiative.

According to IEBC the number of valid registered voters supporting the initiative is 891,598. This according to a press statement released yesterday evening is short of the one million registered voters required by law. “Therefore, the Commission wishes to declare that the Okoa Kenya proposal to amend the Constitution initiative has collapsed by operation of the law,” read the statement by the chairman Ahmed Issack Hassan.
