Cord principal Kalonzo Musyoka has maintained that a national referendum is the only option left to redeem Kenyans from the problems currently facing the country.
He said that although Kenyan law requires at least one million signatures to call for a referendum, they will collect as many as 10 million to dispel any attempts of rigging during the polls.
“With 10 million signatures we can be sure that we are going to win in the referendum polls,” he said reiterating public opinion that the Jubilee government had lost focus in its leadership.
The Wiper leader was speaking on Thursday evening at an iftar dinner hosted by Sheikh Twaha Omar, the Kenya Muslim Yatima Foundation chairman, in his Kiembeni home in Mombasa.
Kalonzo dismissed Interior Secretary Joseph ole Lenku’s wild allegations that the opposition was using deceptive promises of free land in Nakuru and North Rift to collect signatures for the referendum.
“This person needs prayers because whatever he tells us does not make sense. We will collect as many signatures as possible because Kenyans are sick of this regime,” Kalonzo said.
He said he believes that 2015 will be a referendum year and the opposition will defeat the government in the poll.
