National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has responded to remarks by opposition leader Raila Odinga, saying that he was in-laws with former IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati.

In his response, Wetang'ula questioned why his alleged relationship with Chebukati did not matter when they were partners in the 2017 elections.

The National Assembly speaker said excuses and blame games eventually come to an end.

"Raila Odinga in the 2017 general/presidential election I was your partner in Nasa. If being Chebukati relative in 2022 mattered, it must have equally mattered then. Excuses and blame games too, have limits! Soon they will be a circus," Wetang'ula said in a tweet.

On Sunday, during the Jacaranda rally by the Azimio coalition, Raila claimed that Wetang'ula, Chebukati and Justice Aggrey Muchelule are brothers in-law.

Speaking on Sunday during the Jacaranda rally, Raila said that they are all married from the same home.

"Bwana Chebukati na Muchelule ni mwanyumba. Yaani bibi zao ni dada na mke wa Wetang'ula ametoka hapo hapo.(Mr Chebukati and Muchelule are in-laws. Their  wives are sisters and Wetang'ula's wife too) ...Wetang'ula, Chebukati and Muchelule are brothers in-law," he said.

"One stole elections, another is a Judge and the other is a National Assembly speaker."

Raila was reacting to the ongoing probe into what happened ahead of the announcement of the August 2022 presidential election.

A tribunal formed to investigate IEBC rebel commissioners was picked by President William Ruto.

The Tribunal is led by Justice Muchelule and has so far investigated Commissioner Irene Masit.

The other three, former vice chair Juliana Cherera, Francis Wanderi and Justus Nyangaya resigned.
