Raila’s chief agent alleges Azimio leaders sabotaged agents selection process
Raila’s chief agent, Saitabao Ole Kanchory has alleged that Azimio leaders sabotaged the agents selection process.
Raila Odinga’s chief agent, Saitabao Ole Kanchory, detailed how some candidates running under the Azimio la Umoja Coalition allegedly sabotaged and botched the agents’ hiring procedure.
On Thursday, August 25, Kanchory revealed on Spice FM radio that some leaders had rejected the list of agents that top Azimio leaders had provided to watch after Raila’s votes at various polling places.
The Azimio agent claimed that the candidates changed the list the day before voting on Tuesday, August 9, completely changing the procedure.
As a result, several voting places were short on poll workers, and other polling places had late arrivals after getting appointment letters hours before election day.
Owing to the confusion and sabotage, the central command centre, which Kanchory led, did not have enough time to train some of the 62,000 agents Azimio deployed.
Other than failing to identify the new agents posted by the candidates, remittance of their salaries were delayed hence creating more confusion.
“Because of the nature of the coalition that we are under, we had so many interests in the selection of agents. At the last minute, we had different parties bringing in different lists of agents. Many candidates made it up about themselves forgetting that we were running a presidential centre,” Kanchori stated.
“We tried to micromanage a very grand exercise from our headquarters here in Nairobi and it ended up being a very serious logistical nightmare in terms of appointment of agents, deployment, supervision and payment. The consequence of that is that we ended up not having agents in some places, and even some got there a little bit late. We could appoint agents only for candidates to reject them,” he added.
Kanchory maintained that despite the challenges, he played his supervision role ensuring that Raila’s votes were accounted for in different parts of the country.
Raila’s chief agent accused the Kenya Kwanza faction of infiltrating the IEBC servers and manipulating the results in favour of William Ruto, the President-elect.
