Key House committee suspends debate on IEBC report

National Assembly Leader of Majority Aden Duale

The House Business committee has shelved debate on a report that cleared the electoral commissioners.

This puts to rest, although temporarily, the debate over which of the two parallel committees of the House should spearhead electoral reforms. The Committee, which sets the agenda for the House made the decision, effectively negotiating a middle ground in the conflict pitting the 14 member bi-partisan select committee, the Justice and Legal Affairs committee and the Constitutional Implementation and Oversight committee.
