Mr Chebukati said all the organs of the commission are intact and can undertake all its functions.
Connie Nkatha Maina and commissioners Margaret Mwachanya and Paul Kurgat resigned saying they have no faith in Mr Chebukati.
Dr Akombe quit because of what she said was her resolve not to compromise on her ideals.
The electoral commission has made an about-turn on its concerns over a quorum hitch at the agency, saying it is capable of undertaking all its functions despite the resignation of four commissioners.
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati has on several occasions admitted that the agency was incapacitated and could not make any policy decision following the resignation of three commissioners in April, in addition to Dr Roselyne Akombe’s exit in October 2017.
