President William Ruto and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya leader Raila Odinga have intensified public spat on social media over the planned ouster of the four Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners.

Over the weekend, Ruto and Raila traded accusations on social media over the formation of a tribunal to investigate the conduct of the embattled IEBC commissioners Juliana Cherera, Justus Nyang'aya, Irene Masit and Francis Wanderi, during the August 9 General Election.
