Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett has urged three presidential candidates yet to claim the security details assigned to them to do so.
According to Boinnett, three candidates are yet to pick their security detail despite being contacted with the aim of availing security personnel to them.
The three candidates were not revealed due to security reasons.
The new revelations come after NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga had asked for his security team to be beefed up to 50.
Odinga prior to his nomination as presidential candidates enjoyed state protection due to his status as a former Prime Minister.
Last week, Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery dismissed claims that the police had rejected a request to bolster his security detail saying due law will be followed in allocating presidential candidates security personnel.
