The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) now says it cannot facilitate the recall of Members of Parliament due to the absence of a clear legal framework guiding the process.

IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon, in a statement on Wednesday, July 30, cited a High Court ruling that declared key sections of the Elections Act 2011 unconstitutional for being discriminatory.
