The Jubilee MPs have further alleged that the terror attacks in the country might be a plot to destabilize the country.

However in a quick rejoinder Cord leaders led by Bungoma senator Moses Wetangula his Kakamega counterpart Bonny Khalwale and Busia senator Amos Wako have come out strongly to deny the claims.

Cord leaders have instead called for the resignation of interior security cabinet secretary Joseph ole Lenku over the increased terror attacks in the country.
