On Wednesday, before the joint parliamentary select committee, ELOG moved that the nine embattled commissioners should step aside.
However, the group cautioned that the ongoing electoral reforms should not be a justification to change election dates.
Treasury CS Henry Rotich, who appeared before the committee, proposed that presidential and gubernatorial elections be held on separate dates from national assembly, senate and MCAs polls to cut down on costs.
Rotich also revealed there was a contingency fund to facilitate a send-off package for IEBC commissioners should they opt to exit voluntarily
Petitioner Barasa Nyukuri, who has demanded for the removal of IEBC staff for incompetence, asked for the number of commissioners reduced from nine to five and the commission be divided into two.
Things seemed to heat up after lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui questioned the legitimacy of the select committee to look into electoral reforms saying the members were on a wild goose chase.
A situation that seemed to infuriate members of the committee, prompting co-chair Kiraitu Murungi to calm the situation down by clarifying the mandate of the committee in adherence to the law.
Auditor general Edward Ouko was supposed to appear before the committee on Wednesday but failed to do so as he was not in the country.
However, members of the committee led by chair Orengo and Kiraitu asked for Edward Ouko to appear before the committee on Friday morning as representatives from his office failed to answer to pertinent questions raised by the members.
Ouko had earlier raised a red flag over the payment of Sh846.2 million by the electoral commission for supply and transportation of election materials in 2013 which was important in the team's probe.
