Aden Duale, MP-elect for Garissa Township, is now calling for the dismissal of four rebel IEBC commissioners, led by vice chairperson Juliana Cherera.
In a statement on Tuesday night, the MP said it would not be business as usual, accusing the four of gross misconduct and constitutional violations.
Duale said the commissioners almost broke the country by making false allegations against the IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati and trivializing the whole election process.
“No it cannot be business as usual! The actions in what appeared like cinema featuring Cherera as the lead actor and voice actress is a pure blatant gross violation of the Constitution and the law for attempting to subvert the will of People through fabrications,” Duale said.
“Their actions were also nothing short of gross misconduct as they worked in cohort with their wicked masters to negate a free and fair election.”
The four who include vice-chairperson Juliana Cherera, Irene Masit, Francis Wanderi and Justus Nyang’aya unceremoniously left the national tallying centre in Bomas of Kenya on August 15.
According to the former National Assembly majority leader, the four must take responsibility for their actions.
“The four commissioners should be held accountable both individually and collectively. They cannot turn on and off like a switch and expect us to just forget everything. They must face the music,” Duale added.
“Article 251 of the Constitution which provides for the removal of commissioners on grounds of gross violation of the Constitution and the law and gross misconduct can only be the only solution! This is the music they must face! For now, they need to know sisi Wakenya hatubebangwi hivyo.”
The four “rebel” commissioners contested the presidential election results announced by IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati saying they could not take ownership of the results because of the opaque nature of the way they had been handled.
