wrongturn
Elder Lister
Though the elections date is cast in stone (August 9, 2022), preparations for them may be thrown in limbo if Parliament rejects the nominations of four commissioners, whose vetting started yesterday.
If they are rejected, that will force a fresh search for candidates to fill the four vacancies that occurred in 2017 and 2018.
With the court’s finding, the two arms were ‘empowered' to frustrate the forthcoming elections, if they so wish.
IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati did not answer phone calls or respond to text messages from the Nation on whether the agency intends to challenge the court’s findings.
In their judgment, the seven-judge appeals bench said an election is not a one-time event but a process.
There are very many policy decisions that must be made by Commissioners in their meetings and such meetings must not only be quorate, but also the decisions, which bind the entire Commission, and have major impact and consequences on the country’s politics, must be arrived at in accordance with the dictates of the Constitution and the IEBC Act,” said Justice Daniel Musinga, president of the court
