The National Police Service (NPS) has dismissed claims by Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua that women were raped and one person was killed during the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election.

In a statement issued on Friday, July 17, Central Regional Police Commander Geoffrey Mayek said no such incidents were reported before, during, or after the poll.

"As to allegations circulating in social media spaces about incidents of rape and deaths, the true position is that no rape incidents were reported in Ol Kalou before, during and after the voting process," the statement read.
