President Ruto Declares Vacancies for IEBC Chairperson and Five Commissioners

President Ruto has declared six vacancies at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) pending the hearing and determination of a case against suspended Commissioner Irene Masit.

Through a Gazette Notice dated February 14th, 2023, the president declared vacancies in the positions of IEBC Chairperson and five commissioners.

Three of the positions fell vacant following the retirement of former Chairperson Wafula Chebukati and commissioners Boya Molu and Abdi Guliye whose six-year non-renewable terms expired last month.

The other three posts were left vacant after Commissioners Juliana Cherera, Justus Nyangáya and Francis Wanderi resigned last year after President Ruto suspended them and appointed a tribunal to investigate their conduct in the last general election.

Last month, President Ruto signed the IEBC (Amendment) Bill 2022 into law, paving the way for the formation of a seven-member selection panel to recruit the new commissioners.

The law allocates two slots each to the Parliamentary Service Commission and the Inter-Religious Council, while the Public Service Commission, the Political Parties Liaison Committee and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) will nominate one member each to the panel.

    Nakuomba uanze…

    SAMOEI:

    Nakuomba uanze kufanya kazi na uachane na mambo ya siasa na pia kutangatanga makanisani kila siku ya Jumapili. Jamani! tumechoka na mambo ya siasa zako mbovu za kupayukapayuka na kupigapiga mdomo bila kufanya kazi.

    Nchi ya UAE, Saudi Arabia na Israel sasa wanatumia teknolojia ya kisasa inayowawezesha kuyageuza maji ya bahari na kuyatumia kupanda mimea, kunywa, na kuogea. Na wewe unapoteza wakati mikutanoni kama kwenda Kasarani kusali.

    Je, Umeona nchi nyingine yoyote duniani ambayo kiongozi wa nchi hiyo huteua siku ya kusali ili mvua inyeshe isipokuwa Kenya?

    MWUMBAJI MKUU (MM) alipotuumba wakati tulipokuwa matumboni mwa mama zetu alitupatia akili halafu kazi yake ikamalizika. Kwa hiyo kuomba na pia kwenda makanisani ni kumfanyia MM masikhara. Matokeo yake ni umaskini usio na mwisho.

    Hakuna bara lolote duniani ambalo watu wengi wamepotelea makanisani kwenye sala kama bara letu. Yaonekana wazi ya kwamba MM amechoshwa na maombi yetu na wala hasikii tena maombi kutoka kwa watu wa kutoka Kenya. Watu wengi huomba MM kila siku. Ajabu ni kuwa uporaji mali ya umma, wizi, iuomgo, na mambo ya rushwa yanazidi kuongezeka!

    Ulipokuwa makamu wa rais, ulitangatanga kwa muda wa miaka kumi bila kufanya kazi na sasa nchi yetu imezidiwa na matatizo mengi yanayotokana na tabia zako mbovu za kutangatanga. Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau alikwambia uwache kutangatanga halafu uanze kufanya kazi, lakini wewe hukufuata maagizo yake hata kidogo! Ulikuwa makamu wa rais kwa muda wa miaka 10 lakini huku unazungumza kama hukuwa mmojawapo kwenye serikali kwa muda huo wote. Jamani! Tumechoka!

    Kwa nini hutumii pesa kujenga viwanda kuliko kujenga makanisa ambayo hayawasaidii vijana kupata ajira na kupunguza ukosefu wa kazi na umaskini nchini?

    Waswahili husema, “AKILI NI MALI.”
