Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has said he is keen on ensuring ghost workers do not vote in the August 8 polls.
Addressing a Sunday service at Voice of Salvation church in Buruburu, he used the metaphor of cemeteries and said the city askaris were going to guard the two key cemeteries in Nairobi to ensure only legitimate voters participate in the polls.
"We have two cemeteries in Nairobi, one for Muslims at Kariokor in Gikomba and the other at Langata. We are going to finish fencing off Langata and Gikomba and we will put very strong gates," he said amidst laughter.
"From August 5 to 10, all the gates will be locked. No ghost will be allowed to leave to go to vote. So those who think they will bring ghost who think they will escape will be arrested and beaten thoroughly,” he added.
Kidero said that NASA will still carry the day in the next polls because Opposition has sealed all loopholes their opponents could have used to rig in the elections.
