Former IEBC commissioner Roselyn Akomne has revealed what transpired at the election body after the Supreme Court nullified the presidential election last month.
According to Akombe, chairman Wafula Chebukati immediately urged members of the secretariat to step down.
According to the nation, Akombe said that the fact that CEO Ezra Chiloba has taken a leave of absence a week to the repeat poll would not make the forthcoming election free, fair and credible.
Akombe who fled the country to New York said it was too little too late.
"The first recommendation from the Chairman soon after the Supreme Court judgment was that some staff in the secretariat, among them Chiloba, had to step aside if the commission was to carry out credible elections, at least to meet the Supreme Court set standards.
"This recommendation fronted by the chairman and myself was shot down by some members of the commission whose allegiance was clearly somewhere else," she said.
