Names of People Nominated to Lead IEBC Reconstitution Panel[LIST]

Names of People Nominated to Lead IEBC Reconstitution Panel:  The National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula outlined the procedural timeline on July 22, underscoring that “within 14 days of assent, we must have the selection panel in place”

The selection panel will comprise nine members, including representatives from the Parliamentary Service Commission, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), the Inter-Religious Council of Kenya, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), and the Political Parties Liaison Committee (PPLC).

Wetangula stated,”The nominating agencies of the selection panel are the Parliamentary Service Commission, that is ourselves; we have already organised, and we are going to conduct interviews for the nominated candidate by the majority and the minority parties,”

“The inter-religious council is nominating two names, the Law Society of Kenya should give one nominee, the ICPAK should nominate one person, and the Political Parties Liaison Committee will be nominating three—one from parties not represented in Parliament and from parties that are represented in Parliament, the majority and minority coalition,” Wetang’ula explained.

To adhere to the 14-day timeline, the National Assembly stated that the names should have been forwarded to Parliament by Friday, July 26 to be gazetted by Tuesday, July 30

Wetangula stated,”We hope that by the close of the week, we shall have the selection panel ready to be sent to the president to appoint the chairman out of them and the rest to be gazetted not later than Tuesday this week,”

The Inter-Religious Council of Kenya has retained its previous nominees, Dr Nelson Makanda and Fatuma Saman, while ICPAK will be represented by Andrew Tanui. LSK and the National Assembly Speaker are yet  to announce their nominees
