Kenyan IEBC Nominee's Oath-Taking Creates Stir

IEBC Chairman Nominee's Oath Sparks Discussion in Kenya Kenya's JLAC committee convened to vet the nominee for the position of IEBC chairman, Mr. Erustus. The process was largely standard, with Mr. Erustus affirming his commitment to truthfulness. However, a point of order regarding the absence of a Bible during the oath-taking briefly interrupted the proceedings. One committee member stated, "We need to know why the nominee is not swearing by the Bible." This prompted a discussion on the acceptable methods of affirmation, ultimately concluding with the provision of a Bible for the official oath. Following the oath, Mr. Erustus signed the official documents and submitted them for verification. The event highlights the importance of transparency and adherence to procedure within Kenya's political system.
