As the parliamentary joint select committee on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) reforms meets for the first time on Tuesday, the process for removal of poll commissioners is still a major sticking point.

While CORD is pushing for a negotiated settlement that will see the commissioners resign with a send-off package, the Jubilee coalition insists that their removal should be through a tribunal as stipulated by the law.
