The Chief Justice (CJ), Martha Koome, has sworn in members of the Selection Panel as the Chairperson and Members of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The two selected Appointees, Carolene Kituku and Fatuma Saman, took the Oath of Office on Friday as they solemnly swore to obey, respect, and uphold the Constitution of Kenya and all of its laws to the best of their abilities.
Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony on Friday at the Supreme Court of Kenya, the CJ emphasized the need for the IEBC to serve the Kenyan people with utmost commitment and integrity. "The responsibility you have assumed is not just a mere formality but a solemn call and pledge to serve the people of Kenya and to safeguard the Constitution," the CJ said.
Koome cautioned the selected Appointees, to desist from any influence that seeks to compromise the credibility of the process, as IEBC is committed to independence as enshrined in the Constitution.
