IEBC should be given another chance to correct its past mistakes

Whenever elections are called, everyone expects the process to be free and fair. It is incumbent upon the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), as the custodian of the laws governing elections, to ensure that everyone plays by the rules and that the outcome is credible. That is why the nullification of President Uhuru Kenyatta's August 8 election is an indictment on IEBC.

With a fresh presidential election slated for October 17, the question many are asking is if the same IEBC should be allowed to be the referee. The National Super Alliance has been calling for reconstitution of the agency but that may not be possible due to the strict timelines set for the next election. However, I believe everybody deserves a second chance because human beings make mistakes.
