National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has urged politicians to stop interfering with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), warning that political meddling could derail voter registration and upcoming by-elections.
Speaking on Sunday at St.
Paul's Catholic Church in Kanduyi, Bungoma County, Wetang'ula noted that reckless remarks by leaders risk undermining the newly reconstituted IEBC. "Politicians, especially some younger leaders, must avoid making reckless and prejudicial statements that could undermine the autonomy of the Commission," Wetang'ula noted.
He explained that the IEBC is a constitutionally independent body that does not take instructions from any leader, including the president. "The Commission does not take instructions from anyone regardless of status or position.
