Wednesday’s meeting between the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Acting Interior CS Fred Matiang’i and members of the Interior ministry together with representatives from Jubilee and NASA parties came as a huge relief after weeks of mounting speculation about the role of security officers to be deployed in next month’s elections.
Hopefully, everything was put on the table and solutions and clarifications being sought provided. The relevance of the meeting cannot be overemphasised especially after NASA claimed that the ruling Jubilee Party was laying the ground to rig the vote on August 8.
