Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji has reassured returning officers of their security after the death of two officials this month.
In a meeting on Wednesday with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission returning officers, Haji said that he will ensure they get justice.
"We remain committed to executing our constitutional mandate in accordance with the rule of law to provide security," he said.
IEBC returning officers complained of intimidation, threats, and ethnic profiling while on duty.
The officials decried that they have suffered physical, emotional, material, and reputational damage while performing their duties.
DPP said he will work with IEBC and National Police Service to facilitate their security.
This comes after two IEBC returning officers died in line of duty.
IEBC returning officer Daniel Musyoka went missing and was later found dead four days later at Mariko in Loitoktok.
Musyoka was working at the East African School of Aviation tallying Centre when he disappeared.
Gichugu IEBC returning officer Geoffrey Gitobu collapsed and died at the IEBC Nanyuki's office on Monday.
IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati has come out to complain about the harassment of the commission staff.
He said staff who objectively and impartially performed their duties at the national tallying centre are being intimidated and harassed through profiling and arbitrary arrests.
“This has instilled fear within the staff, who are now unable to report to the office for duty. This harassment must stop forthwith," he said.
