Garissa Township MP aspirant Farah Maalim has claimed that NIS officers are trying to interfere with IEBC data to favor his rival.
Maalim said the officers are transferring voters from his strongholds to polling stations in other constituencies such as Balambala, Fafi and Ijara.
“These people have started executing some of their schemes. Some folks from the security machinery are busy trying to interfere with IEBC data,” he said.
“We are seeing quite a number of cases of people, who have never applied for transfers, being transferred to other constituencies," said the former national assembly deputy speaker.
He added that “This is a serious problem that is being done at the IEBC headquarters at the ICT level. They need to correct these anomalies,”.
However, county IEBC coordinator Anthony Njoroge rubbished the claims saying they are mere propaganda.
Njoroge said voter register has been closed and no alterations can take place at the moment as Maalim is claiming.
“We have encrypted data. Once we start working on the Kenya Integrated Electoral System, you cannot alter the register at all,” Njoroge said.
Maalim expressed confidence that he will defeat incumbent Jubilee's Aden Duale.
“I can assure you that it is not going to be a contest this time round but a rout", said Maalim.
