[kictanet] Fraudulently enlisted as a member of a political party

Mon Mar 6 11:47:46 EAT 2017

Yes this an official service is provided by the ORPP and is even linked
form their website at http://orpp.or.ke/
In 2013 this service was provided using the ORPP SMS shortcode but looks
like that is no longer active.

My main fear is what Mwendwa has shared, I bet our details have all been
harvested multiple times by now!

If you are fraudulently registered you can send a complaint to
info at orpp.or.ke as per this tweet

For people not on email, you have to write a letter and then get your ORPP
county contact to collect it as per this tweet
