The Opposition’s National Super Alliance (NASA) wants the electoral agency to deal firmly with civil servants engaging in politics contrary to the law.Opposition chiefs Raila Odinga (ODM), Musalia Mudavadi (ANC), Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) and Moses Wetang’ula (Ford-Kenya) also gave a 16-point memorandum on their grievances over elections preparations in talks with commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.

They told the commissioners that the low voter turn-out being experienced in the perceived opposition stronghold are as a result of lack of Identity Cards.The leaders accused the National Registration Bureau (NBR) of deliberately presiding over skewed issuance of the IDs necessary for the registration as voters.
