The vetting of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) nominees will finally take off after days of uncertainties, with the Justice and Legal Affairs committee (JLAC) now directed to proceed with the process.
Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetang'ula, directed JLAC to move with speed and proceed with the vetting of IEBC nominees, which include Chairpersons and Members and lamented courts interference with Parliament's responsibilities.
He said that no one has the authority to enjoin Parliament from executing its mandate. "I wish to inform the House that a formal communication is in preparation regarding this matter, with the aim of offering clear, precedent-setting guidance.
However, for the avoidance of doubt, let it be underscored, nobody under any law or constitutional provision has the authority to bar or injunct Parliament from executing its mandate," he said during the afternoon session.
