Embakasi East Constituency Returning officer found dead
His disappearance comes just days after the body of Embakasi East Constituency returning officer Daniel Musyoka, was retrieved in a thicket in Loitoktok, Kajiado County.
Musyoka reportedly went missing on Tuesday, August 9, as he was preparing to announce constituency results.
The slain IEBC official was found in a river near Kilombero, Loitoktok by a group of herders who reported the situation to police officers.
The body of the 53-year-old was identified by his sisters Mary Mwikali and Ann Mboya at a local morgue in Loitokitok sub-county mortuary.
Earlier on, IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati had decried what he described as intimidation and threats against staff while executing their mandate.
“The Commission is concerned that some of its critical staff who objectively and impartially performed their duties were being intimidated and harassed through profiling and/or arbitrary arrests,” Chebukati.
