Chief Justice Martha Koome has called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) selection panel to remain independent and resist external pressure when selecting new commissioners.

Speaking at the Supreme Court in Nairobi during the swearing-in of two additional panel members on Friday, January 31, Koome stated that public interest must guide the selection process.
