Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi has claimed that the government is planning to interfere with voter turn out in the county.

He has cited the arrest of an official and intimidation by police.

Kingi claimed acting county secretary Bibi Fondo was apprehended as part of a wider scheme to cause voter apathy.

Fondo was arrested and questioned for allegedly funding criminal groups.

 “Fondo was arrested and taken to the DCI in Mombasa for [allegedly] funding the banned MRC. But when names of the youths she was accused of funding were released, it emerged they were ODM youths who have been campaigning strongly for NASA," he told a press conference at his residence on Tuesday.
