Kandara MP Alice Wahome on Friday caused drama at the constituency tallying center after she engaged Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) returning officer in a physical over repeat presidential election result declaration form.
Reports indicate that the MP attacked Martin Malonza, the Kandara Constituency Returning Officer at Ng’araria Girls Secondary School after he declined to have her sign Form 34B, being the Jubilee Party’s chief agent in the area.
However, Malonza claims that he had waited for Ms Wahome for hours to come and append her signature on the form, but the MP only turned up when he was about to leave the station to take the results to the national tallying centre in Nairobi.
“When the MP did not arrive after waiting for more than three hours, I decided to indicate on the form that the party agent was nowhere to be found. This is because I had to deliver the form at the Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi on time,” said Malonza. He said the MP attacked him and stopped him from leaving the center.
Wahome, however denied attacking the officials and turned the blame on him.
“I did not harass him, that is not harassment. I was merely checking on the results to verify what had been recorded for the Jubilee candidate. I asked him calmly then he started shouting at me, who does that?” Mrs Wahome questioned. “He was very rude and did not want to be asked any questions. What I did is not outside the law and it is prejudicial of IEBC to issue a statement which I have not seen by the way asking for my arrest. The returning officer was supposed to sit and explain in a calm manner not causing drama that way,” she added.
In a statement on Saturday morning, the electoral commission called for action be taken on the Kandara MP for harassing the Returning Officer in drama that was captured on video.
“We take great exception the manner in which MP Alice Wahome harassed an IEBC official performing his duties. Such is an electoral offence that must be punished,” reads an IEBC statement posted on their Twitter handle.
The Director of Public Prosecution Keriako Tobiko on Saturday ordered for the arrest of the MP over the incident.
If she did , she needs to be…
If she did , she needs to be apprehended, jail time or penalty. You cannot go intimidating others hata kama wewe ni mheshimiwa.
Despicable. …
Despicable.

Wanting to ALTER the Ballot…
Wanting to ALTER the Ballot’s Information is the Primary and MAJOR Problem here. Attacking the RO is Secondary, Collateral,and Minor.

MBINGU. It boggled my Mind…
MBINGU. It boggled my Mind too.
Mbingu & Guest1. We know you…
Mbingu & Guest1. We know you are averse to the real facts and quick to spew baseless propaganda. Your quick and moronic posts out you guys all the time, but you never learn.
To set the record straight, Form 34A from Ithiru ward in Kandara ward awarded all 440 votes there to Kaluyu, votes meant for UK. If you believe Kandara can give 440 votes to Kaluyu and zero to UK, then you live in Pluto. So let’s set the crap about doctoring aside.
That said it was not her (Alice) business to confront an RO, and for that reason she has a case to answer.
There you have it. That’s the energy you have to expend to smoke out NRM agent’s (like mbingu) propaganda. You can lie to some ET folks in Pluto, but not us here…asi!
Huyu mama was high on…
Huyu mama was high on something.Just as Baba said UK is rigging against himself.Kuiba lazima even when it makes no sense The moment she laid her hands on the officer he should have screamed harassment .Hawa wanawake wa central wamezoa kutwanga mabwana zao labda alidhani ni mumeo. Kudus to the guy for not retaliating ingekuwa mimi huyu mama angekula kofi kadhaa
She has a chip on her…
She has a chip on her shoulder. She needs to be brought down a peg or two. Inflated ego.
She is allowed to put hands…
She is allowed to put hands on the man. She is has Nyeri symptoms
She’s a POS!
She’s a POS!
Mhesimiwa that was uncalled…
Mhesimiwa that was uncalled for raw emotions. You do not put your hands on another person on matters of work. You risked that man’s life for what could have been addressed otherwise. You had so much on your plate that election day; you made many pledges that could not be fulfilled on time. This idea that leaders are the experts in everything is taking toll in many fronts of JP. I believe in Kandara there are many people who would have played that role more efficiently than mheshimiwa- we all know mheshimiwa does not translate to expert or efficient. While other parties put their best minds in the forefront of issues, my JP puts them in the back- burner.
