Infighting between commissioners of the Independent, Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) must cease to avert a constitutional crisis as the country prepares for a repeat presidential election on October 17.
In the last one week, Kenyans have watched in disbelief, then trepidation as commissioners tried to discredit each other not long after the Supreme Court invalidated results of the presidential elections on account of misconduct by officers of the electoral agency. Regrettably, the conflict has expanded to engulf the IEBC secretariat with some of its officers now blatantly disregarding instructions from its leadership.
