Senator, Moses Wetangula, has said he sincerely
hates members of the Kikuyu community for
stealing CORD's victory on March 4th and his
victory on, Monday.
Speaking to journalists immediately after his
election was nullified by Bungoma High Court
Judge, Francis Gikonyo, on Monday; Wetangula
put blame on members from the Kikuyu
community who have nullified his election as the
Bungoma senator.
He said judge Gikonyo (who is from the Kikuyu
community) was bribed by President Uhuru
Kenyatta (another Kikuyu) to nullify his election
as Bungoma County lawmaker
Wetangula, who is also the Ford Kenya party
leader, was slapped with Sh4 million costs of the
suit.
Former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, condemned
the court's judgment, regretting it had cost the
only elected member of the CORD Summit his
seat.
"The open injustice exhibited by the High Court
was expected. Hakimu amefanya tu mambo
aliyoamrishwa. (The Judge only acted on orders
to nullify his election). After the Supreme Court
threw away our petition after the March 4 polls,
the only remaining elected member of the CORD
Summit was Wetangula, they were aiming at
him and now they have hit the target," furious
Raila said.
In his ruling, Justice Gikonyo said there was a
wide range of malpractices including double
registration, vote tallying manipulation, and
double voting during the election of Wetangula
on March 4th
