Chief Justice Martha Koome acknowledged the impact of the delay in the recruitment of the commission.
Mr Erastus Ethekon, newly sworn-in chairperson, said he was immensely honoured by the trust placed in him.
Chief Justice Martha Koome has challenged the newly sworn in commissioners of the electoral body to urgently rebuild the public trust as they take charge of the commission.
Speaking during the swearing in ceremony of the six commissioners and chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) at the Supreme Court building, Justice Koome noted that public trust in institutions was at a “low ebb”.
