Tigania East MP Mpuru Aburi last week found himself in trouble with some MPs after he failed to keep his promise.
Reportedly, he had promised to lend some of his colleagues a chopper, one which he made them believe he owns, for a weekend trip to Mt Kenya. He told them not to bother looking for a chopper as he would organise everything.
Unknown to the MP, the particular chopper he hoped to use was unavailable as it had been leased out to another client. The MPs were surprised on reaching Wilson Airport to find no chopper. In an attempt to calm them down, Mpuru told them that it had left for a few errands and it would be flying back in a short while.
The MPs waited for it for almost half of the day, before giving up and leaving Mpuru to continue waiting. His attempt to apologise fell on deaf ears, with the lawmakers refusing to hear anything, saying he should have informed them on time “without wasting their whole day there”.
The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) will on Monday present a petition to Parliament for the removal of nine IEBC Commissioners from office.
A statement sent to newsrooms said:
“This unprecedented event will be held today (Monday) at 2:15pm at the National Assembly (Main Parliament buildings).”
Cord has been categorical that they will not be part of another election presided over by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
DAMAGING CLAIMS
Last week, Kisumu Senator Anyang’ Nyong’o said: “I don’t think our elections should be run by a criminal organisation.”
Members of the Parliamentary Public Investment Committee also clashed over whether the IEBC should be disbanded.
Leaders from Jubilee are however against any move by the opposition against the polls body and termed the latest calls for removal of the team as a ‘smear campaign’.
A recording recently emerged in which an electoral commission official was allegedly heard casting doubts on the credibility of last year’s General Election.
