Are there “moles” among Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners who leak information from the electoral body to either Jubilee Party or the National Super Alliance? Well, there is a trend at the commission that every major decision it tends to make get leaked before it is agreed upon.
The latest indication that some of the commissioners are allied to the two political parties played out last week when the commission appeared before the Joint Select Committee of Parliament. Before IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati could introduce himself, a Jubilee senator and a member of the committee, who in a few minutes was seen reading a text message from his phone, interrupted the committee’s co-chair, William Cheptumo, to question why Chebukati was appearing alone.
