Former Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba alleges that a missing Ksh300 billion, flagged by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu, was used for voter suppression in recent by-elections, including in Mbeere North and Malava, on Thursday, November 27 2025.

• Orwoba claims Ksh600 million was spent in the Mbeere North by-election alone.
• She accused Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire and Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geofrey Ruku of interference.
• The Ksh300 billion in untraced funds was raised through government bonds between 2017 and 2023.

In a press briefing on November 29, 2025, Martha Karua questioned Kenyan voters' choices after a by-election in Malava Constituency was marred by bribery, including mattresses, and violence. She urged citizens to choose integrity over short-term gains at the ballot box.

• Karua highlighted the distribution of mattresses branded "GOK" (Government of Kenya), blankets, and cash to elderly women by Kakamega Woman Representative Elsie Muhanda in support of winning UDA candidate David Ndakwa.
• The High Court advocate warned that accepting bribes, such as mattresses, leads to long-term systemic injustices like underfunded healthcare.
• Karua, speaking on behalf of the United Opposition, hinted at possible court action to address the electoral malpractices and predicted the Ruto administration would serve only one term.
