Raila Storms Out of IEBC Meeting
National Super Alliance (NASA) led by Raila Odinga on Tuesday walked out of a meeting called by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The IEBC had organized a meeting with top leadership of Jubilee and (NASA at the Anniversary towers office in Nairobi to chart way forward for the forthcoming repeat presidential election.
The meeting, however, failed to kick off after NASA leaders walked out, citing the absence of Jubilee leaders and an agenda supplied to them by IEBC, which they said was only shared when they arrived for the talks.
NASA leaders, led by presidential candidate Raila Odinga arrived for the talks at Anniversary Towers at about 11am, but stormed out about an hour later, after Jubilee leadership failed to show up.
The leaders, who included his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka and co-principal Musalia Mudavadi, said they would not be part of the talks due to a ‘strange document’ issued to them by the Commission on arrival.
Moments after they left, Jubilee leaders led by DP William Ruto and JP secretary general Raphael Tuju arrived at Anniversary Towers and held brief discussions with the IEBC before addressing journalists to explain why they showed up late.
DP Ruto said they had arranged for a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting by the time the IEBC meeting was called on Monday night, and it was not possible to call it off.
Ruto was also accompanied to the meeting by National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale and his Senate counterpart Kipchumba Murkomen.
The meeting has been rescheduled to a later date.

The government should be ready with a plan on how to handle the Raila group, it sure does not want the elections they know they cannot win. They will definitely go for chaos to get nusu mkate, you mark my words.

This haste is telling. I thought one of the tenets of independent commission is not to subject itself to undue external or internal pressures.

Walking away just shows your arrogance.Stop with the side shows and hit the campaign trail.Jubilee is not your Partner but competitor what they do should be the least of your concerns . IEBC will be the one conducting the élections it is them to whose tune you should dance and not the other way around.Stop burning your bridges when the Supreme court risked their lives and livelihoods by handing you a second chance. They did not declare you as the winner stop behaving like you have won the election.Humble your selves before the electorate instead of behaving like spoilt brats.

YOU WANT to throw when you see these old spent men who have refused to hand over leadership to young generation! You cannot teach Old dogs new tricks . They are all mkosa musimamo . They are political prostitutes who want free gift . was Mudavadi not vice of Moi did Raila join Moi so that he could be appointed as successor when that failed turned to Kibaki each time he fails what of Kalonzo and Wetangula they are all Mois pupils . I suggest all of them including Uhuru and Ruto be barred from participating in any political post .
