Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati has said the electoral body is keenly following the push to have 2010 constitution amended.
Speaking in Machakos on Wednesday, the IEBC boss said the calls for a referendum are provided for in the constitution.
Chebukati said any Kenyan can file a petition to have the laws amended adding that politicians should stop bashing each other over proposals for the review.
He said the commission has not received any memorandum to have the constitution amended.
“We are following the debates and once we get a memorandum, we will respond and give our views,” Chebukati said.
Chebukati said the commission is ready to conduct the referendum if need be.
He, however, denied claims that the commission's operations have been halted following the suspension of its CEO Ezra Chiloba and the recent resignation of four commissioners.
“Operations are going on at the commission despite the recent happenings and we urge Kenyans to support u even as we lay plans for 2022,” Chebukati said.
Chebukati has been under criticism after four commissioners resigned last month.
A section of politicians has been calling for Chebukati’s resignation on grounds that he failed to provide leadership at the polls' agency.
