Claims of voter bribery and tribalism have emerged ahead of the CUSA elections scheduled for 10 th February. Supporters of a particular candidate vying for the post of the chairperson are alleged to be going around recruiting vocal members in order to help them convince "people from their community ".
A member of Mr Omulloh Augo's campaign team whom we can not identify for now, narrated to us how supporters had approached him from a rival group. He claimed that he was offered 300 ksh and asked to mobilize members of his community, which he declined.
Many aspirants are still at the planning stage although Mr Augo and Mr Kirimi have declared their candidacy for the chairperson seat. Another contestant who has been mentioned but which www.chikeo.blogspot.com is yet to confirm is Peter.
Social media has been embraced by some of the contestants with Mr Kirimi's chief campaigner Mr. Aggrey Buchunju being the first to announce Mr kirimi's candidacy. Supporters of Augo have reacted to different posts on the official CUC Facebook group portraying him as rebellious.
