A damning corruption report in Parliament could be the Achilles Heel of embattled Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners in the wake of demands by key political players that they quit.

This emerged after a key House committee said it will also not approve the IEBC budget with the current commissioners at the helm, unless each of the indicted commissioners turns up to explain their role in the loss of Sh4 billion through botched procurement of electoral kits ahead of the last general election.
