The electoral agency has directed that government vehicles and other state resources illegally deployed by politicians in campaigns be impounded. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has also ordered governors, deputy governors, Members of Parliament and Members of County Assembly (MCAs) to provide an inventory of resources at their disposal by virtue of their positions. 

The directive, issued on Friday, comes just days after Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa branded a Constituency Development Fund (CDF) vehicle in United Democratic Alliance (UDA) colours, his photos and those of Deputy President William Ruto. He had also removed the GK registration plates and affixed the registration number KBS 709D.
