NAIROBI: The stalemate over the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) continues today, with the Opposition going ahead with its countrywide demonstrations. The hope that followed President Uhuru Kenyatta’s call to dialogue last week was dashed almost immediately.
This came after Opposition leader Raila Odinga maintained that talks on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission must be done outside Parliament. The Government, on the other hand, is unmoved, insisting dialogue must fall within the ambit of the Constitution, which mandates Parliament to hold such deliberations.
