ODM leader Raila Odinga has addressed the issue of recruitment and management of agents during the election period.
In a statement, Raila said the issue of agents was not the reason for what he termed as mishandled election or a reason why they lost.
Raila said it's not the work of a candidate to guard their votes or make sure the election runs smoothly.
“We must appreciate that it's not the responsibility of candidates to protect the vote or conduct a free and fair election. That constitutional duty lies with the IEBC and other relevant institutions,” he said.
Raila said he addressed the matter to clear the misconception and attacks of their campaign management team.
He also addressed the reports of misappropriation of campaign funds and statements that Suna East MP Junet Mohamed misappropriated funds meant for agents.
“Let me state without equivocation that Junet was a campaign lead in the team to support Raila. He at no time even once handled funds meant for agents nor did he have anything to do with the management of funds,” the statement read.
Raila said those trafficking in such brazen and false propaganda should cease forthwith.
