On Monday, Jubilee nominations kicked off after being canceled last week due chaos that was witnessed.
Last week, opposition party ODM kicked off the primaries.
“We have been told of cases where the police are favouring candidates and denying other aspirants access to the polling stations,” Nkaissery said during a presser on Monday.
"Partisan police officers will not be spared. We will now be involved in party primaries as parties have been unable to run chaos-free polls."
Nkaissery further stated that the government will coordinate with IEBC to have candidates who instigate violence disqualified.
“Going by the number of incidents of chaos experienced during the party primaries, the government has decided to step in and take action," he said.
