IEBC has called for the prosecution of Kandara MP Alice Wahome for harassing an official on duty.
A video emerged of Wahome and returning officer Martin Malonza disagreeing over changes to Form 34B for the constituency.
Wahome and Malonza push and pull over the signing of the form.
"I
was 10 minutes away from the centre when my agents called, alerting me that Malonza had refused to let them sign. I
called the RO to ask him to wait for me but he did not pick so I asked my agents to delay the process," she told The Star.
"He then took the forms and wrote a report that they had not signed and
transmitted the results without the signatures. This is when I arrived and it's from there that the
video
is recorded."
Via Twitter on Saturday, the commission said:
"We take great exception to the manner in which [Wahome] harassed an IEBC official performing his duties.
Such is an electoral offence that must be punished."
Wahome said
she wanted to verify the results of Jubilee Party candidate Uhuru Kenyatta because a whole stream of 440 votes had not been included.
According to the elections offenses Act, 2016 anyone who obstructs or hinders an officer from discharging duty has committed an offence.
"A person who obstructs or hinders any elections officer, candidate or agent in the execution of their lawful duties commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding five hundred thousand," the law states.
