Why IEBC must be reconstituted

In December 2007, after 5 years of steady economic growth under the NARC government, the country was suddenly thrust into a political crisis following a botched election. From an 8 per cent annual rate of growth, we recorded a miserable 2 per cent in 2008 after the post-election violence that claimed 1,300 lives and internally displaced nearly half a million people. This loss of momentum in economic growth has always been there every time Kenyans panic over elections

Even after enacting a new Constitution in 2010 that sought to address the constitutional shortcomings that led to the crisis in 2008, the results of the Presidential elections were still contested in the Supreme Court in 2013.
