Former IEBC CEO James Oswago has cautioned the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission team against doing things that would make it seem close to the government.
Oswago told the Wafula Chebukati led team to be truthful with Kenyans.
It’s just 15 days left to the August 8 general elections.
“Time may come when power wielders prescribe sacrifices as public catharsis. This is done as atonement and to neutralise public anger at some perceived shortcoming of the electoral commission,” Mr Oswago said during an interview with the Daily Nation
He added, “It becomes necessary in order to distance State power from collateral damage and to deflect attention. Ask (former IEBC chairmen Samuel) Kivuitu or (Issack) Hassan.”
Oswago told the IEBC chief to accept their mistakes and never shy away from taking responsibility.
