The suspension of a director and the angry exchanges between personnel at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has cast a dark cloud over the institution, with the General Election just two months away.
On Friday evening, ICT Director James Muhati was sent on compulsory leave by the commission following accusations that he had refused to cooperate in an ongoing audit of ICT systems. The decision to oust Muhati was reached at a plenary meeting chaired by chairman Wafula Chebukati and attended by all commissioners and CEO Ezra Chiloba.
