The embattled IEBC commissioners might go home with nothing come September 30, the deadline set for them to vacate office.
Makueni MP Dan Maanzo has said that the commissioners must vacate office on or before the day as agreed and wait for Treasury and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to decide on their package while away.
"The commissioners should not stay in office arguing that they have not been paid their packages. They must go home by September 30 and wait for their packages there. They should remember that they are asking to be paid even for what they have not worked for," said Maanzo during K24's Face-Off program on Tuesday.
He added: "They can even end up with nothing if Sarah Serem's SRC finds them to have misbehaved while in office."
However, Juja MP Francis Waititu differed with Maanzo saying that the date of the exit of the commissioners was a 'gentleman agreement' and is not in the amended IEBC law that President Uhuru Kenyatta signed.
"We cannot force the commissioners to leave office because their send-off package has not been agreed yet. This is an independent body and can go to court and challenge their forced removal from office. It was a gentleman agreement not in the law," Waititu said. Cord has threatened to go back to the streets if IEBC doesn't exit by the end of September.
