The third issue that the Okoa Kenya Bill seeks to deal with regards the independence and impartiality of the IEBC. That lack of confidence in the IEBC continues to deepen as we approach the coming elections in 2017. Current IEBC commissioners were proposed by members of the previous coalition government, appointed by the President and approved by Parliament. Having connived to frustrate the Okoa Kenya initiative on a technicality- very much contrary to the Constitution, it is unlikely that the current commissioners would support proposals to reform IEBC. The Okoa Kenya Bill proposes 60 days, very much like in Ghana and the US.
