Petition filed to stop interviews for IEBC Commissioners

A petition has been filed in court seeking to stop the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) from proceeding with interviews for the positions of its members. The petitioners claim that the IEBC ignored qualified youth who met the requirements for the positions.

The three petitioners, Moses Mwaga, Angela Mbuthia and Dickson Morara Omoke, argue that the recruitment procedure, as outlined in the IEBC selection process is in blatant violation of the Constitution and other legal provisions.

They are now requesting the court to issue conservatory orders halting the interviews for the IEBC member positions until the case is heard and determined.

“It is likely to cost the taxpayer money if permitted to continue without the necessary intervention, particularly as the selection criteria violate constitutional principles of inclusion, transparency, diversity, merit, and equity,” the court papers state.

The petitioners further argue that the commission has exhibited open discrimination against the youth in the country who are qualified and deserving of being shortlisted and interviewed for the positions.

“The second respondent continues to conduct interviews and may recommend names for nomination or appointment to the office of an IEBC member,” they contend.
