MPs have adjusted the schedule of sittings to allow more time to amend a law seeking to alter the composition of the IEBC selection panel.
The lawmakers are scheduled to burn the midnight oil to conclude debate and approval of the IEBC (Amendment) Bill, 2022.
"The proposed law seek to provide two slots to the Public Service Commission and Political Parties Liaison Committee.
The two positions are being taken away from parliamentary political parties who currently hold four slots.
LSK would have one slot in the 7-member panel and the remaining two for religious bodies.
"Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(a), this House resolves to extend the sitting time for today’s afternoon sitting until conclusion of business appearing on the Order Paper," the motion reads.
The Bill would thus be debated in the afternoon sitting during the second reading, with the third reading and subsequent enactment scheduled for the late night sitting.
The House is in a race against time as the law would guide the replacement of the current IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati and two commissioners Abdi Guliye
