Thirty-six people will battle it out for the four vacant positions of commissioners at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. The Selection Panel for the appointment of the commissioners has shortlisted and published the names of the 36 individuals from a pool of 660 applicants who had expressed interest in the positions. “It is notified that the selection panel may interview any member of the public who submits a memorandum on any of the applicants,” Muli added. Former KNCHR chairperson Florence Shimbiri-Jaoko (Nairobi), Koki Muli and former NCIC commissioner Joseph Gitile Naituli (Meru) are also on the shortlist. “Any attempt by a candidate to canvas or otherwise influence the selection process will automatically disqualify the candidate from the process,” she warned.
