[Photo|ODM]Earlier Thursday, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) said that it had rescheduled a meeting that had been planned for morning with the National Super Alliance (Nasa). As at afternoon, Nasa said was not aware of a scheduled meeting with IEBC, and that it did not, in any case, intend to hold any casual meetings with the IEBC as currently constituted or under the "ad hoc smokescreen in which it operates currently.""We have made the considered decision that henceforth, we will only engage the Commission through an open and structured national stakeholder dialogue in which binding resolutions will be made and shared with the public," said Nasa presidential campaign manager, Musalia Mudavadi.IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba had said the Commission had organised for a meeting with Nasa, to listen to its grievances and pre-conditions set, before participating in the fresh October 17 presidential election.When they visited the Commission early this week, Nasa said, they were bombarded with a document titled "Status update on the Commission’s Preparedness for the Fresh Presidential Elections" which they had never been informed about. "The document opens with reference to the Supreme Court’s annulment of the presidential election on August 8, and the attendant orders for a fresh election."Addressing the press at the Okoa Kenya Offices, Mudavadi said the document however conveniently failed to acknowledge that the court found the Commission culpable for “illegalities and irregularities” in the elections. "That is dishonesty and a clear indication that the IEBC is living in denial. No more boardroom meetings with IEBC," declared Mudavadi, flanked by fellow Nasa leaders.
