Monday, January 27, 2025 – Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka could derail the appointment of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman and commissioners even further.
This is after he rejected the
appointment of Adams Oloo to the IEBC selection panel on the pretext that he is
former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s friend and President William Ruto’s
advisor.
According to Kalonzo, the
nomination of Adams Oloo to the panel is against the law since it will benefit the
president.
Kalonzo argued that there could
be a plot to delay the reconstitution of the electoral agency with only two
years and six months to the August 2027 polls.
The Wiper leader implored Dr. Oloo to choose between retaining the position of presidential advisor and
serving on the panel.
“There could be a plot to derail the reconstitution of the IEBC. I want to ask Dr Oloo to relinquish his position as a presidential advisor and remain on the selection panel.
"We know
they don’t want this reconstitution of the IEBC,” charged Kalonzo.
“Let us not give them an excuse
to prolong the process. We know their game plan and we shall not allow them.”
However, Nairobi Senator Edwin
Sifuna clarified that Oloo was nominated by Azimio to represent them in the
panel before Ruto picked some of the Orange party members as experts in his
government.
According to Sifuna, the
nomination of Oloo was done way before even the court case and urged for speedy
resolution of the impasse.
