Outgoing IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati on Monday, January 16, requested President William Ruto to form a commission of inquiry to investigate State interference in last year’s general election.

Narok Senator Ledama Olekina now says only a few people know what transpired at the Bomas of Kenya when the Presidential results were about to be announced on August 15, 2022.

In a statement on Monday, January 16, the ODM senator stated that the truth about the matter will come out one day.

“Very few people really know what happened at Bomas? One day you will read several conspiracy theories including Riggy G’s,” Ledama tweeted.



His comments come a day after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua claimed that some individuals in the Azimio camp wanted to bribe IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati to subvert the will of the people.

“People were sent to try and bribe Chebukati with KSh1 billion to announce call the election in favor of the other candidate but he refused. They even sent the head of the military but did not budge,” Gachagua said on Sunday, January 15.

Chebukati on Monday, January 16, requested President William Ruto to form a commission of inquiry to investigate State interference in last year’s general election.

He claimed that the electoral commission was intimidated by the National Security Advisory Council (NSAC) to moderate last year’s presidential results.

“The commission wrote to the President of the Republic of Kenya requesting for a public inquiry in respect of the process leading to the declaration of the final results at the Bomas of Kenya,” Chebukati said.

He added, “the outcome of the inquiry we believe will foster the independence of the commission and ensure that it maintains the statute contemplated by the constitution."
