Bungoma senator Moses Wetang'ula has sought the services of lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi against members of the Orange Democratic Movement party, who had claimed he is linked to a Greek ballot printing firm.
This comes after Suna East MP Junet Mohamed alleged he was involved in a plot with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to rig the August 9 general election.
In a tweet, the senator said he had instructed Ahmednasir to take legal action against Junet for his remarks.
"I have instructed SC Ahmednasir aka “The Mullah” to take legal action against ODM desperadoes to stop their reckless inanity against Weta & KK. Watajua hawajui!!" Wetang'ula said.
Junet ,who is also the Azimio secretary general, alleged that IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati and senator Moses Wetang'ula were the conveners of a meeting held in Karen to discuss the ballot paper tender.
Junet claimed that a deal was hammered out during the meeting to have Greek ballot printing firm, Inform Lykos (Hellas), granted the tender to supply 200 million ballot papers.
He alleged that the officials of the Greek firm visited Kenya disguising themselves as potential investors in Bungoma County.
"When IEBC announced ballot papers tender you sent someone called Makokha Abdalla to Greece and you invited those guys from Greece to Kenya pretending to be people wanting to invest in Bungoma. They had come for a deal with you," he said.
Wetang'ula on Wednesday denied any knowledge of Abdalla even as he dismissed claims by Junet as "false and malicious".
"I know nothing about ballot printing or any printing business for that matter!! I have no relationship of any kind with the person named in the story Joshua Abdalla Makokha," he said in a statement to the newsroom.
But Junet has maintained that the senator was a key player in the deal and even dared him to go to court to challenge him.
He said the agreement sealed in the meeting involves the subtle addition of marked ballot papers through the Ugandan border to facilitate what he termed as "the Rigging plot".
