Kenyans have until Wednesday next week to submit memoranda with supporting evidence contesting the suitability of the seven nominees for chairperson and commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), as Parliament prepares to vet them on May 26.

In a notice issued on Monday, Clerk of the National Assembly Samuel Njoroge announced that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Constitutional Affairs will conduct the approval hearings in line with Article 118(1)(b) of the Constitution and the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act.
