No acts of violence will be tolerated ahead of Machakos by election, IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati has said. The Commission is currently planning for the March 18th, 2021 Machakos Senatorial by election. "IEBC takes this earliest opportunity to sternly warn politicians and members of public that No acts of violence will be tolerated," he said. "IEBC is deeply concerned by the growing trend of lawlessness and violence witnessed, if not properly checked, is likely to threaten National Security as the Country heads towards the 2022 General Election," he said. Chebukati said IEBC will organize counseling sessions for election officials traumatized by the violence witnessed during by-elections.
