Speaker Moses Wetangula has said that the Parliamentary Justice and Legal Affairs Committee will begin the vetting of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairperson and the six members of the commission on May 27.

This comes after President William Ruto nominated Erastus Edung Ethekon on May 9 as the chairperson of the IEBC to succeed the late Wafula Chebukati.

He also nominated six other individuals to serve as members of the commission and submitted their names to Parliament for vetting.

The six members are: Ann Njeri Nderitu (Registrar of Political Parties), Moses Alutalala Mukhwana, Mary Karen Sorobit, Hassan Noor Hassan, Francis Odhiambo Aduol, and Fahima Araphat Abdallah.
