ODM party leader Raila Odinga has sensationally alleged that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) has been hired by the Jubilee administration to interfere with the ongoing mass voter registration exercise.
Early on Tuesday, Raila claimed that NIS is currently importing people from Uganda and Ethiopia to register as voters with the main purpose of creating more votes for Jubilee.
“We have credible information that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) is once again heavily involved in the on-going voter registration with the aim of influencing results in August in the same way it did in 2007 and 2013,” Mr Odinga said in a statement.
“NIS interference in the current voter registration involves taking BVR kits across our borders into Uganda and Ethiopia and assisting citizens of the two countries to register in a Kenyan election process.
"The agency is also assisting citizens of these neighboring countries to acquire Kenyan identification documents then helping them cross into Kenya and register as voters,” he added.
The former Prime Minister urged the spy agency to be non-partisan in conducting its duties and also safeguard the integrity of the electoral process.
“We challenge the NIS to come clean on this matter and assure the country that it is abandoning its disgraceful involvement in the voter registration,” he said.
