Provide enough ballot papers, Jubilee Party told

 

Kericho County gubernatorial aspirant Eng Fred Kirui has asked the Jubilee party to ensure that there was enough supply of ballot papers during the nomination exercise.

While lauding the appointment of the county elections board, Kirui said the party should ensure that enough papers were supplied so as to avoid confusion normally witnessed during such exercises.

Kirui supported the transfer of the board members to man the nominations outside the county, but said the candidates should be notified of the board that will be monitoring the nominations in the county.

He said the returning officers and other party officials should be trained by the IEBC even though the commission may not be in a position to oversee the exercise.

He at the same time asked the party to put in place all other logistical arrangements to ensure that the exercise was done in a peaceful and fair manner.

Last week, the Jubilee Party spelled out tough measures to curb chaos during the selection of party elections board members as well as during the forthcoming party primaries.

The party was triggered into action following ugly scuffles witnessed in several counties in Central Kenya including; Kirinyaga, Kiambu, Murang’a, and Nakuru Counties.

Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju has warned members against causing mayhem saying aspirants found culpable will be barred from running on the party ticket.

Tuju said the party is investigating fracas in Kirinyaga and Murang’a counties, adding that warring parties will be held liable for property damaged.
