The back and forth over IEBC is not healthy for Kenya

From the moment the National Super Alliance (NASA) singled out a few employees of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) it believed were central to its rigging claims, it was just a matter of time before Jubilee Party swung in with its own list of those it wants barred from officiating over the repeat presidential election slated for October 17, even as the Opposition claims it was not consulted on the date.

The Opposition had indicated it would not participate in the election if it was to be supervised by the same individuals who botched, as they claimed, the August 8 presidential election that the Supreme Court nullified.
