The Building Bridges Initiative report recommends fresh vetting in what is seen as a tactic to force out the Wafula Chebukati-led team. The proposal has been seen to suggest that the country needs to get new IEBC commissioners before 2022. The Bill says the vetting panel shall within 14 days of finalising work inform the concerned members, in writing, of the outcome of the process. Three of the six IEBC commissioners resigned from the troubled electoral agency in April 2018. It said others said that the current expert panel model should be expanded to include either MPs, parliamentary political parties and coalitions or the Political Parties Liaison Committee.
