In Summary


• Former Attorney General Amos Wako said at least four of the seven IEBC chiefs should be picked by political parties. 

• However, the Public Service Commission rubbished the idea. 

The impending hiring of IEBC commissioners is turning out to be the next battlefront for President William Ruto and Azimio chief Raila Odinga.

The two have publicly differed on how to fill the vacancies following the retirement and forced resignation of the former bosses.

The sharp difference of opinion is already playing out before the bi-partisan committee constituted by the two leaders. 

Former Attorney General Amos Wako — a former ODM senator and Azimio lawyer— said at least four of the seven IEBC chiefs should be picked by political parties. 

However, the Public Service Commission rubbished the idea.
