Commission is ready for investigation, prosecution, Chebukati says

Electoral commission chiefs say they are open to investigations and prosecution over accusations of mishandling the August 8 presidential election.

IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati on Friday called on Kenya’s chief prosecutor Keriako Tobiko to investigate and prosecute any staff who may have messed up the poll.

The Supreme Court on Friday quashed the election that saw President Kenyatta re-elected with 54 per cent of votes cast.

Mr Chebukati spoke hours after National Super Alliance leaders, led by Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka, called for the prosecution of IEBC bosses.

Mr Odinga said Mr Chebukati and his team “belong to jail” as Mr Musyoka declared that they have no faith in  the commission.
