True to his nature, Conman @RailaOdinga has already abandoned and betrayed the CHERERA FOUR. None of their names featured in the laundry list read out at the Kamukunji baraza. The conman is a punctured, empty, clueless and COWARDLY conman.

The four IEBC commissioners in question are Juliana cherera, who was the vice chair for IEBC and has since resigned.in her resignation statement, cherera denied any wrongdoing saying she did her work according to the constitution. Justus nyangaya was the first to leave.
Earlier today Francis wanderi another commissioner, resigned, citing false allegations. his statement reads, "As I tender my resignation today, I do so not because I am guilty of the allegations levelled against me by the petitioners, but because there comes a time when the country is more important than any individual, including my aspirations as a Kenyan to see our democratic process mirror those of advanced democracies.'' Mr Wanderi said.
Raila Odinga has been a fierce supporter of the IEBC commissioners who opposed rutos presidential win, citing opaqueness in the results.
Earlier this week, President William ruto suspended the four commissioners after analyzing a report he received. one commissioner remains. Irene masit has vowed not to resign.
Gladys sholei, the deputy speaker of the national assembly, has criticized the move by the commissioners to resign, saying that doing that will not stop the tribunal from investigating them.
