National Majority Assembly Leader Aden Duale now wants Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Wafula Chebukati to quit his post.
The Garissa lawmaker has faulted religious leaders for playing a role in the selection of the commission, which he termed as the worst product ever.
Speaking to Citizen TV’s Stephen Letoo, Duale said that the commission was poorly composed, adding that religious leaders are to blame for the woes. This comes after three commissioners resigned from the commission.
“The country went out and let the religious leaders constitute a commission, in my honest opinion, that is where we made a mistake and got the worst product, Chebukati, and his team. Chebukati was fronted by religious leaders and a number of us were against it.”
He further said that the other parties are equally to be faulted for the problems facing the commission.
“The old law of 2013, that recruiting panel was made up of many people, LSK was represented, the workers and public service commission was taking the lead, that was the time we had the best commissions,” added Duale.
