In a case filed last Friday, Mr Omtatah further wants IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati, commissioners Boya Molu and Abdi Guliye protected by the courts.

The petition filed against the commission, the National Assembly and the Attorney General, is seeking to restrain MPs from disbanding IEBC or interfering in its operations. Jubilee MPs have even threatened to institute proceedings to remove them from office if they do not resign.
