By DENNIS ODUNGAMore by this AuthorThe Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has urged politicians to desist from making statements during campaigns that would divide the country. Chairman Wafula Chebukati said political parties should respect the code of conduct and the election laws that guide how they should solicit for votes. They said regulations to guide political parties, nomination of candidates, voter education and ICT are some of the pending work that Parliament must speedily approve ahead of the elections. The Speakers of the two Houses pledged support and appealed to the IEBC officials to invest in restoring public confidence in the commission. The two underscored the importance of the commission engaging not only with legislators but political parties and all Kenyans to avoid suspicions and electoral malpractices.
