IEBC about to accuse the dog of eating its homework, again

Wafula Chebukati and IEBC officials

IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati on June 8, 2022 briefs journalists on the preparedness for the August 9 elections.  The electoral agency has left Kenyans asking hard questions over the level of preparedness as several issues remain unclear and unresolved, just slightly more than a month to the polls.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) met journalists on Wednesday evening at the Bomas of Kenya. Chairperson Wafula Chebukati said they wanted the media to kill them with reality, and the public to count the number of times they’d stammer in response. He was accompanied by CEO Hussein Marjan, and after more than one hour in the oven, the duo struggled to come out like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

We shall remember that interview for two things only; the unfair disbursement of Kiswahili journalists covering elections this year, and the alarming rate of deforestation on Mr Chebukati’s head.
