“Anyone who is going to tell Mr Raila Odinga to support the BBI and the Handshake so that the central province can support him is lying to him,” said the confident Senator.
Allegations of the handshake falling came wake after claims by Siaya Senator James Orengo that senior civil servants had hatched a plot to undermine party leader Raila Odinga.
According to the Siaya Senator, the said individuals are busy trying to determine who becomes the country’s president in 2022 instead of focusing on unity.
“We have seen what happened in Matungu and Kabuchai and all over the country…this is not what is called free and fair elections.
On a day of elections there should be total peace, and whereas Harambee House likes condemning politicians, this time round I’m condemning the administration, the people in Harambee House and the police,”he said.
