The Anglican Church wants the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to exclude staff who bungled the August 8 poll from the repeat exercise.
Thirty-five ACK bishops in a statement read by Archbishop Daniel ole Sapit on Wednesday, also warned that the threats by the Opposition to boycott the fresh election do not augur well.
They were concerned by plans by Jubilee Party to 'cut to size' the Supreme Court for nullifying the poll, urging President Uhuru Kenyatta and his nemesis, Raila Odinga, to engage in peaceful and respectful campaigns.
The bishops warned Jubilee against changing electoral laws, arguing that it would lead to unacceptable mutilation of the Constitution.
“In order to avoid the possibility of another bungled election, IEBC must do everything within its power to cleanse itself and take corrective action, including exclusion of those who failed in their duties during the last elections,” said ole Sapit.
The clerics also urged IEBC to effectively plan to provide free, fair, and credible elections, adding that it should objectively listen to and address all legitimate concerns raised by the presidential poll competitors.
“IEBC has to work to regain public confidence by being transparent,” said the cleric.
