Three IEBC Commissioners resigned on Monday

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has sent a message of advice to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati after the resignation of three Commissioners.

Kuria in a statement on his Facebook page, advised the IEBC Chairman and the remaining Commissioners to resign and give way for Members of Parliament to start the process of having a new commission in place.

The vocal MP added that Chebukati is the most indecisive Chairman the electoral commission has ever had and his indecisiveness almost got Kenya into political turmoil.

“I have read Wafula Chebukati's long and winding statement with dismay. It’s long on verbosity but a Lilliput in substance. Wafula Chebukati is the most dithering and flip-flopping Chairman that our electoral management body has ever had. His indecisiveness almost plunged Kenya into constitutional turmoil. I call upon Chebukati and all the remaining commissioners to do the honourable thing and resign to pave way for us in parliament to embark on a process of establishing a new commission,” read Moses Kuria’s post.

Three IEBC Commissioners Consolata Maina (also the IEBC vice Chair), Margaret Mwachanya, and Paul Kurgat announced their resignation in a press conference on Monday.

The three cited poor leadership from IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati.
