He added that the two were charged with defacing of posters according to the Presidential And Elections Act, sub section 2.<\/p>\n

Onyango said the two denied the charges at police and said they were just looking at the torn posters when police arrested them.<\/p>\n

Onyango said the two will be taken to court to face the law.<\/p>\n

He called upon the public not to remove campaign posters; not even from their building until elections are done.<\/p>\n
