President Ruto to start the process of hiring IEBC commissioners
President William Ruto standing next to his deputy Rigathi Gachaua receives a certificate from former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati at the Bomas of Kenya on August 15, 2022.
The panel will select six individuals to fill vacancies at the electoral agency that arose as a result of retirements and resignations.
Unlike his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta who had influence in the team, as the majority of the members were his appointees from the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), Dr Ruto’s influence was clipped by the court.
President William Ruto is to start the process of appointing a seven-member panel that will select six individuals to fill vacancies at the electoral agency that arose as a result of retirements and resignations.
Only three positions have been declared and gazetted vacant.
