Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners were hard-pressed yesterday to defend their employment on full-time basis before members of a parliamentary watchdog that prefers part-time engagement.

Appearing before the National Assembly's Public Accounts Committee (PAC), the commissioners had a difficult time justifying their being in office daily and drawing a monthly salary, as they failed to outline what they do from 8am, when they report to work, and 5pm when they leave.
