Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa says Monday’s Supreme Court verdict will mark a moment of truth about what transpired in the August 9 General Election and the vote tallying process.
Wamalwa asked the apex court to deliver justice after it emerged that Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was not speaking in the same voice when Chairman Wafula Chebukati declared William Ruto as President-Elect on August 15.
“What Kenyans want is not miracles. They want justice. We want Kenyans to be patient. Because we will know the truth and justice will be done,” he said Saturday at the burial service of the late Peter Mwangale in Bungoma County.
He questioned whether Kenyans could put their trust in the faction led by Chebukati, Abdi Guliye, and Boya Molu.
“Those of you who have been praising Chebukati that he is a hero, that he did miracles for you, the jury is still out. On Monday, we will know if Chebukati is a hero or a villain,” the Defence CS stated.
The CS was speaking on Saturday in Bungoma, where he attended the burial service of the late Peter Mwangale.
Vice-Chairperson Juliana Cherera led commissioners Justus Nyang’aya, Francis Wanderi, and Irene Masit in condemning Chebukati’s results, which declared Deputy President William Ruto the winner of the contest.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga, who finished second, claimed the vote was rigged in his opponent’s favor and challenged the outcome in the Supreme Court, where a decision is expected on Monday.
