Yes, especially down-ballot positions like MCAs where candidates don't have sufficient means to provide enough good agents, it can be a problem! I have a relative who won clean who had to literally fight all of yesterday mpaka usiku to get his cert! It's crazy just how untrustworthy/indecent Kenyans can be when they can get away with it!

They will spend years in courts. There is need to have such barred from ever holding a public just like impeached politicians.

We need strict law to curb this. Our society is broken. Integrity is the last thing on a lot of people minds in Kenya

ROS are permanent and pensionable unlikely to mess up anything - they will lose maybe 150-200K job plus go to jail.

POS are temporary staff - local teachers - those are ones that rig.

ROS just do basic maths...to add up POS data.

POS is everything - rigging happened there.

I am talking right out fraud we see where ros award certificates to candidates that lost or where ro Colludes with others to committ electoral fraud

POs can also go to jail. Their names and ID numbers are on the forms, servers and have been downloaded by the interested parties.

What they fear most is KIEMS kit - because the computer will have digital trail. So even POS have done their job. If it was manual process it would be easy to mess. But computer is doing some key stuff.
