President William Ruto has hit out at chief Opposition leader Raila Odinga on claims that Chebukati three visited him at his home during the elections.
Speaking in Mombasa on Monday, Ruto questioned Raila to reveal why he was visited by
“ I heard yesterday a politician telling this story that IEBC officials visited him. He is telling the story five months after the act. My question is, how did you( Raila) end up inviting the officials to your house?’ Ruto posed.
The Head of State also questioned why Raila didn’t reveal the intention of the commissioners visit.
“This politician also did not tell us why these commissioners visited him. So what was he telling us then,” Ruto said.
On Sunday, Raila threatened to expose the underhand deals of the immediate Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati moments before the August 9 presidential results were declared.
He told Chebukati to stop saying Azimio made attempts to bribe him and warned that he will reveal photos of him visiting his home.
“Chebukati stated that there were people who wanted to bribe him, Guliye and Molu. I want to ask them why did they visit Baba’s home?” he stated.
“What did they borrow from me? They should know I have their pictures and if they play with me, I will unveil them,” Odinga said.
Going further, the President further tore into Raila’a allegations asking why he failed to submit the claim evidence before the Supreme Court and the IEBC tribunal.’
“You had the opportunity to present your case before the court and tribunal but you didn’t. But instead, you choose to do it in a rally five months down the line,” Ruto added.
Raila on Sunday claimed he has pictures of their visit and he will make it Public if he has to.
“Bwana Chebukati anasema kuna watu ambao walikuwa wanataka kumhonga. Hata wale wenzake Bwana Guliye na Bwana Molu. Nataka niwaulize mlikuja kwangu kufanya nini? Waliniomba nini? Niko na picha yao wakicheza nitatoa,” the former Prime Minister said.
This loosely translates to, “Chebukati is saying there are people who tried to bribe him, even his other colleagues Guliye and Molu. I want to ask them what did you come to do in my house? What did they ask me for? I have pictures and if they continue playing I will make them public.”
