There’s still room to deal with you, don’t engage in monkey business, James Orengo warns IEBC chair
James Orengo warns IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati against engaging in any monkey business ahead of the August general election.
ODM MPs from Nyanza on Friday, 22, led by Siaya Senator James Orengo hit out at IEBC over the preparations for the August polls.
The leaders; Senator James Orengo ( Siaya), MPs Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja), Otiende Amolo (Rarieda), and Dr. Oburu Odinga ( EALA) were speaking during the burial of South Gem ward ODM candidate Nick Wanga.
They asked the IEBC chair to ensure whatever the commission does was in line with the Constitution.

“Let Chebukati know that there’s still room to deal with the commission, even replacing them if they don’t want to cooperate,” Orengo said.
“I want to remind the chairman that there exist avenues and provisions within the Constitution on how to deal with the commission. IEBC is not above the law. Be reminded that you are living on borrowed time if you continue with those acts of deception and falsehoods,” he added.
Siaya Senator who is running for the gubernatorial in the county said they are confident that Raila Odinga will win the August 9 poll and the coalition is keen to ensure the electoral agency carries out a free and fair election.
“We want to beat DP William Ruto hands down in round one and we have to ensure the commission is kept in check so that all loopholes that a petitioner can exploit to challenge Raila’s victory are sealed,” he said.
Their comments came after the arrest of three Venezuelans at JKIA in possession of election-related materials.
The ODM leaders observed that the Azimio camp was concerned that each time IEBC is on the spot, the Kenya Kwanza, which is affiliated to William Ruto are quick to defend the commission.
“We are reading the same tone in IEBC statements and those made by the Kenya Kwanza brigade and we are asking ourselves, what do they know in Ruto’s camp that we aren’t aware of?” Orengo posed.
