The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is still grappling with key issues, even as interviews to select a new chair commenced on Monday, March 24.
A recent survey by Inforak highlighted deep-seated concerns among IEBC stakeholders regarding the commission's competence in conducting a credible election, particularly as polls have consistently been contested by losing candidates since 2007.
According to the survey, one of the biggest concerns regarding the IEBC was external interference, with 39 per cent of respondents expressing fears that the commission tends to be influenced by powerful forces outside its structure- a factor likely to further erode public confidence.
Another key concern is corruption, as 38 per cent of respondents raised concerns over the mismanagement of resources, procurement scandals, and financial misappropriation.
