According to Siaya Senator James Orengo, the Opposition iss reviewing fresh claims by a former Jubilee insider Onyango Oloo, against the evidence rejected by the Supreme Court during the unsuccessful 2013 presidential petition.

“We are reflecting and reviewing what we have so far so as to see if we can make legal appeals on the basis of electoral fraud and misconduct,” said Mr Orengo.

According to Orengo, if there are grounds for legal action, the Opposition will seek the intervention of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).

They will then use the results from the agencies to petition the court to take legal action against President Kenyatta and members of his team.
