However, others indicated that they were eager to hear what the embattled CEO had to say after the polls whose results were contentious.
Here are the reactions:
In June, Chiloba was sent on another compulsory leave hours after the court revoked previous orders issued by chairman Wafula Chebukati.
In a circular, Mr. Chebukati explained that since Chiloba was also the accounting officer at the Commission it was imperative for him to stay out of office as auditing of major procurement involving the 2017 General Election is completed.
The IEBC chairman stated that the decision was arrived at during a meeting held on 14 June 2018.
