Police officers have been warned against taking sides in the ongoing primaries across the country.
Interior cabinet secretary Joseph Nkaissery told journalists that his ministry had received information of several cops being accused of favouing aspirants.
“We have been told of cases where the police are favouring candidates and denying other aspirants access to the polling stations,” Nkaissery said, Monday.
He noted that stern action will be taken against partisan officers.
“Partisan police officers will not be spared. We will now be involved in the party primaries as parties have been unable to run chaos-free polls,” he said.
Nkaissery added that counties such as Nakuru, Kiambu, Murang’a, Mombasa, Homa Bay, Migori, Busia among others are closely monitored by the police.
