The PAC Chairman has called for a lifestyle audit of IEBC commissioners.
The committee says some of the commissioners have amassed wealth through "peculiar means".
“We have confidential information to suggest a number of [commissioners] who joined the Commission either on the verge of bankruptcy or with completely nothing, are now wallowing in wealth, with vast real estates all over the country," Public Accounts Committee Chairman, Nicholas Gumbo said on Monday.
Committee member, Timothy Bosire, said the planned lifestyle audit has "scared the commissioners".
But some PAC members have been accused of sending text messages to demand Sh3 million from each commissioner as a bribe to dilute their findings in an investigation into the purchase of poll materials in 2013.
The alleged bribe was meant to cushion the commissioners from claims that they influenced the awarding of a tender to supply biometric voter registration (BVR) kits to Face Technologies, a South African firm.

In response to the claim, Gumbo who is also the Rarieda MP said: “If they were sent SMSs, let them share with the public.”
Bosire said IEBC commissioners “have touched on a live wire” and must be held responsible for what they say.

“They should name who among the PAC members approached them and should pass over the messages to Parliament in order for those who made attempts to solicit for money from them to be known and named,” the Kitutu Masaba MP said.
