Deputy President William Ruto has exonerated President Uhuru Kenyatta from the blame on continued stay of IEBC commissioners in office despite pressure from Opposition leaders. He also addressed wananchi in Gatunyu, Muranga town, Githanga trading centre and Kiria-Ini grounds. He said the President has no powers to disband the electoral agency further pointing that the latter’s hands are tied by the Constitution. Ruto said religious leaders, the civil society and any other Kenyan can present views to parliament, which in turn will pass the necessary law(s) on IEBC. He said leaders should respect the institutions created in the Constitution in solving issues of IEBC.
