An IEBC official from Lamu was yesterday charged before a Malindi court with four counts of electoral malpractises. Jonathan Ngowa, a deputy presiding officer from Lamu East, denied all the charges. In the first count, Ngowa is accused of breaching his duties by preparing Form 36 to declare presidential elections results on March 7. He is also facing charges of preparing Form 36 to declare the results for the governor elections. Ngowa denied the third and fourth charges of preparing forms to declare senator and women's representative elections on the same date. Malindi senior principal magistrate Nathan Shiundu ordered the prosecution to supply Ngowa with copies of the witness statement and charge sheet to help him prepare his defense. Ngowa was arrested after several candidates raised complaints about his alleged plan to rig the elections in favour of some candidate. Shiundu released the accused on a Sh500,000 bond and a surety of a simillar amount. The case will be heard on March 19. Lamu IEBC clerk denies poll offences | The Star
