One of the sticky points is the appointment of IEBC commissioners. Kenyans expect that the MPs will apply themselves to the issues at hand and act in their interest. Unity of purpose is demonstrated only when MPs are passing legislation on their emoluments and allowances. But at all times, the interest of the public must be at the centre of everything. With the impasse over the future and composition of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) simmering, the much pampered MPs have a chance to rise to the occasion and redeem the image of Parliament.
