Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has questioned the government’s delay in reconstituting an electoral body as he sent a request to President William Ruto.
“And on matters of IEBC, an election is as credible as the process. The electoral commission must be in place three years before the election, now we have two and a half years remaining. There is no IEBC and people can read mischief,” Gachagua alleged.
According to the former DP, the country is behind schedule since a commission should have been constituted three years before the next general election.
He therefore asked the President to work on constituting the IEBC with urgency, with barely three years until the next general election.
“We are thus calling on the reconstitution of IEBC urgently so that the process can be as credible as the expected outcome.”
Gachagua also took the chance to thank his allies for speaking up against the Kenya Kwanza government as he urged the church to keep calling out malpractice in the government.
His comments came barely 24 hours after Kenyans went online in an interesting campaign to apply pressure on the government to set up a functioning electoral body.
