Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chair Wafula Chebukati admitted that he cannot guarantee free, fair and credible polls on October 26th.
Chebukati gave this statement on 18th October after the
resignation of one of IEBC’s commissioners, Roselyn Akombe. Akombe left the
country saying that the commission was under siege, only days to the repeat
polls.
In his detailed statement, he condemned political leaders who have failed to put their interests aside.
“The burden placed on me as chairman is huge. Yet, I can’t move forward with a divided commission. I can’t move forward when presidential candidates refuse to put their personal interests aside and for once, serve their country,” said Chebukati.
As usual, Kenyans took to social media, some expressing their distrust in the IEBC while others urged Chebukati to forge on.
