IEBC AND ELECTION CANDIDATES 2022:
The IEBC should work together with the director of Public Prosecution, and the director of criminal investigation to clear candidates who wish to run for an elective public service before the forthcoming election 2022.
The basic standard for any potential candidate should be based on Chapter 6 of our New Constitution. This is paramount for the future of Kenya where we don’t have to hear that a former impeached governor was barred from visiting the USA based on his past skeletons rattling in his closet.
