Kenya's IEBC Reconstitution: Transparency Concerns Raised

IEBC Reconstitution Jitters in Kenya: MP Gakuya Raises Concerns Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) reconstitution is facing scrutiny following the appointment of new commissioners. Embakasi North MP James Gakuya expressed his concerns in a recent TV47 interview, questioning the process's transparency. "An alarm was raised immediately when the six names were suddenly included in the IEBC selection panel," stated Gakuya. He added, "If someone had been sincere, a statement should have been issued to clarify the process." Gakuya's concerns center on the appointment of Noor Hassan, who he says became a beneficiary "out of the blue." The selection process has sparked debate about transparency and public trust in Kenya's electoral system. The concerns raised highlight the need for clear and open processes to ensure public confidence in future elections. The ongoing discussion underscores the importance of accountability in the IEBC's operations.
