ODM leader Raila Odinga faults Jubilee for using unnecessary force as an act of an abuse of police powers and an arrogance.

The ODM boss added that what was witnessed in the two constituencies by-elections provokes a vote of no confidence as People to exercise their power not forcing for few elites.

Interior CS Fred Matiang'i was accused of using national security for forcing elections in a certain way.

" What we have witnessed in the by-elections in Bonchari and Juja is an abuse of police powers and an arrogant display of IMPUNITY by a few overzealous and bellicose government functionaries.

" An election process is an opportunity for the voters to express their will at the ballot and not an avenue to pursue IMAGINARY and SHORT-LEGGED political interests. Security forces exist to serve the people and not the interests of those out to conduct political experiments.

" The peaceful co-existence post-2018 must NOT be taken for granted by some rogue elements wanting to confuse the HANDSHAKE for an excuse to ERODE our hard-earned liberties! This must STOP!" ODM leader Raila Odinga said.
