The returning officer Nyando( Lukiko Otieno) approached Ahero police station OCS seeking police protection, and made an undertaking that Ahero ward MCA, Ken Ooko, was going to pay the police for the day's work. The returning officer claimed that County elections Committee had approved the MCA to pay the officers. This is compromising the process.
With the polling Stations remaining empty on election day, the exercise should be repeated on a different day.
