Cabinet Secretaries for water and Tourism Eugene Wamalwa and Najib Balala were on Sunday at the Jubilee rally in Tononoka.

The 2010 Constitution prohibits civil servants from participating in politics and holding political office.

Article 75 of the Constitution on the Conduct of State Officers states an officer should behave – whether in public and official life or in private – in a manner that avoids conflict of interest.

“The use of civil servants in the campaigns is a clear sign he does not respect the rule of law,” ODM chairman John Mbadi said.

County commissioners work closely with their deputies, chiefs and their assistants to provide intelligence to the authorities.

The intelligence obtained might shape the August polls.

Heads of parastatols have also been targeted for campaigns.

Civil servants could be recruited in counties mapped by JP as likely to have swing votes.

They include Garissa, Kajiado, Kisii, Mandera, Marsabit, Nairobi, Narok, Nyamira, Samburu, Trans Nzoia, Turkana and Wajir, which have 4.75 million votes.

“Government resources should never be used for political campaigns,” Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission communications manager Andrew Limo said yesterday.
