Sunday, December 8, 2024 - Senior Economic Advisor Moses Kuria has advised the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) selection panel to begin advertising the commissioner positions immediately.
In a statement yesterday, Kuria
concurred with Supreme Court Judge Isaac Lenaola, who questioned how the
country could operate without the IEBC Commissioners.
While acknowledging Justice
Lenaola’s sentiments, Kuria urged the IEBC selection panel to commence recruitment by Friday, December 13.
According to the government
advisor, the delays in the appointment of the IEBC Commissioners pose a huge
threat to the country.
“I urge the other members to
meet on Monday and kick off the process of advertising for IEBC Commissioners
by Friday, December 13. We are living dangerously without an electoral body,”
Kuria said.
On Friday, Justice Isaac Lenaola
criticised the government and the opposition leaders for failing
to appoint the IEBC Commissioners hardly two years into the 2027 general
elections.
Speaking during the Regional
Conference on the use of artificial intelligence, Lenaola also hit out at
members of Parliament for ignoring the constitution of the electoral body while
passing other laws.
The Supreme Court judge further
questioned the duration the commissioners would have to prepare for the next
general elections, adding that such issues must not hold the country hostage.
