Former Kathiani MP Wavinya Ndeti, who is eying the Machakos gubernatorial seat in the upcoming general election, has raised concerns after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) allegedly barred her from accessing data on voter listing.
Wavinya blamed the clerks of the commission for collaborating with her political opponents to deny her access to the data after launching her Machakos county three-day voter registration campaign in Mlolongo before she headed to Athi River.
It was while at Athi River that she received the negative treatment from the clerks who were conducting the voter registration exercise in the area.
According to Wavinya, she has a right to access any important information from the commission because she is also a Kenyan like any other.
“I have a right to information as a citizen and leader. You should be giving me the information with ease unless you are working for my opponents,” Ndeti said.
She went to ask the clerks to work with the local leaders in different parts of the county in order to make the voter registration exercise successful. “We are helping residents to turn up. You should cooperate with leaders to ensure successful registration,” she added.
