Kenya's IEBC Appointment: Transparency or Irregularities?

Kenya's IEBC Reconstitution Sparks Debate: The appointment of Erastus Edung Ethekon as IEBC chair has ignited a discussion about the transparency and fairness of the selection process. While some, like MP Dr. John Chikati, praise the choice for its potential to reduce corruption, others raise concerns about procedural irregularities. "The IEBC selection process was one of the most transparent," stated Dr. Chikati, highlighting the live televised interviews. However, other MPs argue that President Ruto didn't fully follow procedures, citing the inclusion of candidates who weren't initially shortlisted. The debate highlights the ongoing challenges in maintaining public trust in Kenya's electoral system. The situation underscores the importance of transparent and impartial processes in ensuring free and fair elections.
