Embattled IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati yesterday said that he will not resign despite his leadership of the commission being disparaged by three colleagues. In a statement later in the afternoon, Chebukati said he had learned of the commissioners’ resignation from news reports and would respond after he is formally informed. “Chebukati, Molu & Guliye must resign from IEBC within the next seven days or we form a tribunal to investigate them,' said Senate Majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen yesterday.
