One of Chris Musando’s bosses was
on Monday confronted and told to leave by mourners at the City Mortuary.
According
to The standard, the mourners accused James Muhati, the
electoral commission’s ICT director, of betraying Msando.
Muhati
had arrived at the morgue in the company of Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission (IEBC) colleagues to view Musando’s body.
Things,
however, took an ugly turn when one mourner tried to attack him but was
restrained.
She
claimed that Muhati was part of the problems that Musando faced at his workplace.
The
daily further reports that three other mourners confronted him as he ran
to where IEBC commissioners and other staff were standing.
In
May, Muhati was suspended for a month after he was accused of refusing to
cooperate in an audit of the agency’s ICT systems. The decision was reached at
a plenary meeting chaired by Chairman Wafula Chebukati.
Musando
was appointed acting director. Muhati was later reinstated.
At
the morgue, emotions overcame a number of Musando’s colleagues who broke
down after viewing his body.
Musando’s
widow, Eva, was reluctant to leave her husband’s body and had to be
persuaded by relatives to leave to allow the attendants to prepare the body to
be moved to Lee Funeral Home.
