The long wait for commissioners to oversee the August 8, 2017, General Election is over. A new team led by Wafula Chebukati has taken over at the Independent, Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Owing to the tight timelines ahead of the polls, the commission has its work cut out. In the coming months, the team will have to complete procurement of crucial material for voting, hire staff to run the elections as well as conduct civic education once voter registration ends.
