The journey to form the next Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is finally underway, as the first four candidates put their best foot forward to convince their suitability to hold the chairperson position.
One of the candidates, former Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Anne Amadi, not only defended herself on corruption claims raised but also a petition sent to the Nelson Makandi-led selection team, questioning her suitability to serve as the IEBC chairperson.
Similarly, former Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) chairperson Charles Nyachae fought off claims that he is a State candidate and a petition by Bunge la Wananchi, accusing him of failing CIC, corruption allegations, conflict of interest and political patronage, among others.
On her part, Amadi put on a spirited effort to clear her name, saying she was not involved in the Sh89 million gold scandal or any other violation, terming the allegations as an attempt to shake her.
