Raila Odinga is in a closed door meeting with CORD leaders and various interdenominational leaders from religious organs at the CORD Secretariat.
Raila Odinga says CORD may call off anti-IEBC demos.
Raila Odinga is set to address media on formation of joint parliamentary committee to spearhead IEBC talks.Jubilee leaders in the National Assembly insisted on Tuesday morning that any changes at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) would have to be made through Parliament.
The meeting is similar to the one President Uhuru Kenyatta had at State House,to discuss issues around the IEBC.
Mr Duale, however, said he would oppose the Bill set to be tabled on Wednesday giving political parties a hand in the selection of IEBC members.
“The best place to deal with the IEBC, or any other issue, is through Parliament,” said Mr Duale.
“If there is a political problem, political problems will not be solved through street protests,” he said.
Mr Duale said he would oppose any agreement struck between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Cord leader Raila Odinga on the IEBC if that agreement is outside the confines of the Constitution regarding.
President Uhuru Kenyatta says that a joint committee of the senate and the National Assembly will be created to look into this matter.
“My obligation to protect and defend the constitution is not an option,” he insists.
