Mr.
Waithanji Mwaniki, a returning officer for Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC), died mysteriously outside a polling station in Kangema
Murang'a county during the 2013 general elections.
This led to
his [Mwaniki's] family moving to court in search of compensation over their
kin's demise. In April 2018, Murang'a magistrate court directed that the
deceased's family be compensated.
