To avoid voter register manipulation, he called for it to be made public and protected from tampering.
Mohammed also wants the board to comply with the provision of the Sports Act 2013 and Kenyan Constitution 2010, all voter register disputes and other electoral grievances to be resolved at the grassroots level where they originate from and not Nairobi and polling stations for branch grassroots elections be located at county headquarters.
Three Football Kenya Federation (FKF) presidential hopefuls, former Nyanza FKF boss Tom Alila, former Kenya international Sammy “Kempes” Owino, and Murang’a Seal vice chairman Hussein Mohammed, have voiced their opposition to the body’s Electoral Board decision to base its headquarters at Kandanda House, Kasarani, in Nairobi.
Speaking to Nation Sport Tuesday, Alila likened the board’s decision to having the Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC) operating from the State House.
