Cord leader Raila Odinga has insisted that the opposition will continue with its protests in an attempt to remove IEBC commissioners from office.
He said that the opposition would not use Parliament to remove the Commissioners as MPs are only agents of the people of Kenya.
Raila said that their "peaceful picketing" is meant to further communicate to Parliament that the issue of the electoral agency's commissioners cannot be decided on a partisan basis to achieve selfish political objectives.
"Moreover, our peaceful picketing is meant to communicate to the Jubilee Administration that it cannot protect the commissioners of the IEBC from the law and from a moral and conscientious duty to resign and expect that Cord will foolishly accept to participate in another election conducted by them," Raila said.
He added: "The basis of our action is premised on the very first article of our constitution which states, “All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution”.
He issued a statement on Tuesday evening after meeting religious leaders who offered to broker dialogue between the opposition and the Jubilee government over the IEBC impasse.
"A common misconception currently prevailing in certain sections of society is that once people set up institutions, they lose all power over any issues that are meant to be resolved by those institutions," Raila said.
He added that by virtue of its majority in Parliament, the Jubilee administration has used MPs to pass laws and motions that compromise the interests of the people.
"This is how the National Assembly came to dismiss a petition that was filed against the IEBC commissioners for mismanagement and corruption," Raila said.
He was referring to a petition, filed by Wafula Buke, who worked for Cord in mid-2014, and listed various charges against the commissioners.
Buke had alleged that the IEBC Commissioners had failed in their work and that they were corrupt.
"Buke’s petition was buried in accusations that he had been sent by CORD to fight the commissioners and in the end he was never accorded serious consideration. Jubilee marshaled its numbers in the House and threw out the petition," Raila said.
The former Prime Minister also said that Parliament is not the only forum in which the people are being betrayed by institutions to whom they have donated their sovereignty.
"The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has obstinately refused to charge Hassan and his co-commissioners who participated in 'ChickenGate' with corruption. This is despite the fact that existing evidence has successfully prosecuted the bribe-givers in a London court," the ODM leader said.
He also accused IEBC of working with the Jubilee administration to frustrate Cord's effort for a referendum which led to the rejection of their Okoa Kenya Bill.
"Prior to the announcement of the outcome of the process, several key Jubilee officials including National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale and TNA Chairman Johnson Sakaja came out publicly to claim that the signatures submitted were fake," Raila said.
He said the two legislators even went as far as giving the break-down of the numbers which the IEBC later came out and confirmed.
Raila said the commission endorsed a position put forward by Jubilee after it dismissed 1.6 million signatures "on what can best be described as flimsy grounds".
"The route of popular initiative was effectively scuttled by the IEBC under dubious circumstances. Kenyans were left wondering how Jubilee knew details of the Commission’s resolution before the findings were made public," he said.
