President Uhuru Kenyatta can unlock IEBC stalemate

It is all very obvious that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is a constitutional office whose commissioners enjoy security of tenure.

But President Uhuru Kenyatta, his Deputy William Ruto and indeed the entire Jubilee brigade know just too well that the solution to the current standoff with the Opposition over the continued stay in office of the current commissioners cries out for a political - not a constitutional - solution.
