Chebukati caught in a storm for saying he’s not quitting
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Chairman Wafula Chebukati’s assertion that he will not quit office has sparked mixed reactions from the online community.
Mr Chebukati however said the commission will be making internal changes of personnel as they prepare for the fresh election set to take place in 60 days.
He also said the commission welcomes the Director of Public Persecution to investigate and prosecute any staff found guilty of election offences act.
Kenyans online were quick to give their two cents on the IEBC chairman comments, while urging him to resign and that his team should not be allowed to conduct the fresh polls.
This is what KOT had to say:
