Interior cabinet secretary Joseph Nkaissery.Photo/the-star.co.keInterior cabinet secretary Joseph Nkaissery has been accused of interfering with Jubilee nominations in Kajiado.
A section of aspirants has accused Nkaissery of coordinating the tampering of voting materials meant for the county in the canceled nomination exercise.
The aspirants, allied to former Kenya Meat Commission chairman, Taraiya Ole Kores have accused former Interior CS, Joseph Ole Lenku, of stealing ballot papers and marking them.
Nominations in Kajiado County failed to take place after a truck ferrying voting materials were intercepted and detained in Ngong, after aspirants claimed that it had been opened and voting materials interfered with.
“We have established, beyond reasonable doubt, that there was a plot by one, a Mr Lemiso and Albert Memusi, both from Jubilee Party headquarters, and other cohorts in Gen Joseph Nkaissery’s office to divert ballot papers meant for nomination and thus interfering with the fair and transparent process,” the aspirants said in a signed statement.
Mr Ole Kores has claimed that the ballot papers were diverted to homes of aspirants.
“Though the official explanation was that the party did not have enough ballot papers, what we know is that there were enough ballot papers only that they were taken to people’s homes,” he said.
