By WALTER MENYAMore by this AuthorThe Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko has asked the Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu lobby to wait for the detailed judgment of the Supreme Court before he can initiate investigations against officers of the electoral body. Mr Tobiko was responding to the lobby’s petition that he investigate and prosecute certain officers of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for the illegalities and irregularities noted by the Supreme Court in the summarised determination of the August 8 presidential election petition. He said the judges of the highest court in Kenya had indicated that the detailed ruling will contain the particulars and substance of the irregularities and illegalities found to have been committed by IEBC. As it is, Mr Tobiko said the summarised ruling does not give specifics of the alleged criminal offences thus making it difficult for his office to act on the petition. The National Super Alliance (Nasa) and civil society groups have been calling on the IEBC to sack officers, who allegedly bungled the presidential elections in favour of Jubilee Party’s President Uhuru Kenyatta.
