West Pokot security officers who worked for IEBC in the August 8 national election have threatened not to participate again over pay.
The commission is making preparations for the repeat race on October 26, for which President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga are the primary candidates.
The agents who sought anonymity
said they were hired to man polling stations that month but have not been paid to date.
The sources said they were to be paid Sh15,000 two weeks after the poll.
But one said: "We have not received a single coin from the commission."
Another said IEBC should employ other police officers for the fresh vote because they will not offer services unless paid.
"Presiding officers and clerks have been paid...they should contract other security officers others to man the polling centers."
The officers accused the commission chaired by Wafula Chebukati of dishonouring their agreement.
"They know they have to pay us...there is no need for us to keep inquiring about when will they pay us. We have incurred debts in the hope that after being paid we would settle them," another said.
The security personnel noted the commission was allocated billions of shillings for the vote. The allocation for the rerun is Sh12 billion.

The officers asked Chebukati to tell them when they will get the money so they don't waste time travelling to towns to ask their banks
"This is tainting the commission's image. It is time it got itself together and paid for the services we offered," one said.
"Those who transported the ballot papers and boxes have been paid but we have not been paid. How long does it take for us to paid? We won't turn up to provide security for the October 26
election."
West Pokot returning officer John Mwangi said he could not comment on security issues.
County commandant Mathew kuto acknowledged the security officers have not been paid.
But Kuto said the payment has been delayed for reasons including the officers' lack of bank accounts.
He added: "The officers should not boycott the exercise since they will be paid. It's an offence for security officers to boycott their duties. The funds were budgeted for and at the end of the day they will be paid."
