Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has cautioned Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko against investigating NASA leader Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka over their remarks that there will be no election on October 26.
Speaking to the press in Matayos constituency Busia County, the Ford-Kenya leader stated that the order to investigate Odinga and Musyoka amounted to harassment.
The Senator stated that the remarks made by the two were not illegal and asked the DPP and IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati not to be intimidated when doing their work.
"There is no law that Raila and Kalonzo have broken. This is a condition that we want to repeat here that if the playing field remains bumpy with the referees playing against us then we will make sure there is no election.

"That not a criminal offence, it’s an opinion that anybody in this country can make at the moment," he said.
Last month, one of the lawyers who was representing interested parties during the Presidential election petition demanded the investigation, arrest and prosecution of Odinga and Kalonzo.
In a letter to the DPP, Harrison Kinyanjui called for the arrest of the two Opposition leaders for continuously stating that there will be no elections on October 26.
Kinyanjui further asked the DPP to charge Raila and Kalonzo with breach of the Election Act for harassing and intimidating Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officers.
NASA, among other things, have demanded the resignation of IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba and the blacklisting of two companies they accuse of bungling the August polls; Paris-based OT-Morpho and Dubai-based Al Ghurair Printing firm.
