A number of IEBC commissioners have come out to reject a memo allegedly written by chairman Wafula Chebukati to CEO Ezra Chiloba over the August 8 polls.
According to the alleged memo, Chebukati detailed numerous failures by Chiloba’s office that led to the nullification of the presidential results.
According to five commissioners, they only came to know about the document through the media.
"A quick perusal of the memo shows that the allegations are based on some report or information that has not been brought to the attention of the commission," they said.
"Most of the issues are not factual and could easily mislead if taken out of context. The Secretariat is reviewing the issues and will prepare appropriate responses to be presented to the Commission Plenary," they added.
The commissioners also assured the public that the electoral body is in the process of preparing for the October 17 repeat election in the statement sent to newrooms.
The statement was issued by vice chair Consolata Nkatha and commissioners Yakub Guliye, Paul Kurgat, Boya Molu and Margaret Mwanchanya.
