Chris Msando's family wants President Uhuru Kenyatta to extend national peace to them by finding and punishing his killers.
Msando was the IEBC's ICT manager until his death on July 28, days before the August 8, 2017 general election.
Investigations into the death have hit a brick wall 12 months after the brutal murder, in what is a strong indictment of the Kenyan police.
Msando's relatives, led by his brother Peter, said it is hypocritical for the government
to cement a reconciliation deal with the opposition and fail to ensure justice for them.
At Lifunga in Ugenya on Friday, he
faulted the investigative arm of the government for doing nothing about their brother's murder.
Peter regretted that their pleas for American and British investigators
to help fell on deaf ears.
"One year after the government rejected out mother's request to bring on board the FBI [and New Scotland Yard], nothing has been done by our investigators," he said.
Peter reminded the government that just like Kenyans needed peace of mind after the elections, Msando's family needs the peace that will come from seeing the murderers behind bars.
"The
trauma the family is in can only be cured if the perpetrators are brought to book," he said.
"We cannot celebrate Msando as we are still in pain, more than one year down the line, as not a single arrest has been made," he said at a memorial service.
He added that the circumstances under which Msando died will always linger in their minds,
especially with the killers going scot-free.
Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi, who attended the service, noted that the Uhuru-Raila Odinga handshake should facilitate an end to historical injustices.
"This is one of the historical injustices that needs to be addressed for the country to move on in the spirit of building bridges," Wandayi said, and criticised the government for not inviting international agencies to the probe.
"How can you refuse such an offer then one year down the line [be unable to] reveal the killers of Msando?"
The lawmaker said he will demand an explanation from the government on the progress of the investigation and why the foreigners did not join it.
"Regardless of the number of years for which Msando's killers remain at large, we will not tire. They must be brought to book."
