demanding that current
officials be disbanded.

action.

'saba saba’ to sit with us and
talk on these critical matters
of the IEBC, corruption and
other maladies facing the
country today,” he said.
The Senator said change that
Kenyans have been yearning
for all this time must now
come through all means
available.
“We will not run away from
the push towards ideal
democracy; 50 years is long
enough for a country to be
singing the same of song of
change,” he said.
Ruaraka MP Tom Kajwang
said the IEBC issues cannot be
glossed over anymore as they
were becoming complacent to
Kenyan’s calls.
He said wananchi had lost
confidence in the commission
therefore must be
reconstituted and not
readjusted.
“We want a total overhaul of
the IEBC to make it lean; the
commission must also be
allowed to outsource officers
like we witnessed in
Afghanistan and Myanmar,”
