Inspector General Joseph Boinnet
NAIROBI—Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet has announced that all staff of the electoral commission will get security.
This follows the mysterious death of the commission’s ICT manager, Christopher Chege Msando.
“We shall also work with IEBC with a view to ensuring that all the commission employees are accorded the requisite security to enable them discharge their mandate,” Mr Boinnet said in a statement on Monday evening.
The decision also came hours after Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati was been assigned six more police officers and two chase cars for round-the-clock protection.
The IG welcomed information that may help in investigating the case but at the same time asked the public to refrain from speculating on the cause of the death until investigations are completed.
A special homicide team from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations has been assigned the case, according to the IG.
The team could be joined by America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation and Britain’s New Scotland Yard if the government accepts their offer to help.
