Kangema MP Peter Kihungi has criticised Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua's idea of going to the East African Court over the Supreme Court verdict on the presidential election, which upheld William Ruto's win.
Speaking to the media on Sunday, Kihungu said other leaders have already accepted the verdict and Karua should do the same and move on.
“Many leaders who were appointed under the Azimio coalition have already accepted the verdict and some have already accepted to be on the opposition side,” Kihungu said.
“Murang'a and Central leaders are the only ones left saying they will pursue other courts outside the country. Supreme Court is our highest court and it gives the final verdict in Kenya.”
Kihungu said if Karua is willing, they can accommodate her into their Kenya Kwanza camp as she can contribute greatly having been in the game for long.
“I urge Karua to be contented, we can accommodate her but she should learn to accept how things unfold, if you are defeated just accept it. But she is still in denial one cannot know where to place her,” he said.
He said as Kenya Kwanza, they are ready to work and they have no problem checking them out if they are doing a good job.
Karua had not come into terms with their Azimio defeat and said her calculations were not adding up.
She said even if the Nairobi governor, comes from UDA, most of the MCAs are from Azimio and it had more votes from the city.
She said she is considering taking the matter to the East African Court.
“But since the court gave its verdict, let Kenya continue and move forward, that is the rule of law and democracy,” Karua said.
