Garissa Township MP Aden Duale on Sunday urged the selection panel to fast-track the appointment of IEBC commissioners. Duale said it was important that the four commissioners start preparing for the 2022 General Election. On Saturday, the selection panel shortlisted and published the names of 36 individuals from a pool of 660 applicants. The MP called on the selection panel to make sure that it gets the best individuals for the slots, noting that Kenyans were keenly following the development. “Any attempt by a candidate to canvas or otherwise influence the selection process will automatically disqualify the candidate from the process,” she warned.
