CS Joseph Nkaissery on security of women politicians

Cabinet secretaries are currently meeting with women candidates vying for various seats in the August 8 elections at the Intercontinental Hotel.

Among the ministers addressing the candidates is interior CS Joseph Nkaissery who has promised security for the candidates.

The IEBC Chairman, Wafula Chebukati, has called on political parties to embrace women in politics to ensure they rise to top leadership positions.

He further said IEBC looks forward to delivering a free, fair and credible election.

“IEBC is ready for the elections. Let no one lie to you that it isn’t. Anyone having issues can address them,” said Chebukati.

On the other hand, Mr Nkaissery has assured female candidates of their security before and after elections.

Speaking during the meeting, Mr Nkaissery asked IEBC to demand campaign timetables from various political parties in order to ensure that rallies do not clash. This will help resolve any insecurity cases to avoid chaos.
