The Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition has agreed to proceed with the proposed parliamentary process of the bi-partisan approach to reconstitute the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
In the coalition’s parliamentary group meeting held in Machakos on Friday, the Raila Odinga-led coalition named the 7-member team to the committee.
Among those picked to represent Azimio Coalition in the committee include Senator Ledama Ole Kina (Narok), Senator Edwin Sifuna (Nairobi), Millie Odhiambo (Suba North), Senator Enock Wambua (Kitui), Amina Mnyazi (Malindi), David Pkosing (Pokot South) and Otiende Amollo (Rarieda).
The joint task force shall present its report to Parliament within 30 days of its establishment.
“We shall send our members to that select committee. The point of reference shall be lowering the cost of unga and electricity, audit of IEBC servers used before, during and after the 2022 elections, reviewing the dismissal of the IEBC four, and for the government to consider restructuring IEBC by devolving its structures,” Odinga said.

Further, Odinga threatened that should the talks fail then they will be forced to go back to the streets.
“Should there be no meaningful engagements we shall mobilize Kenyans again under Article 37. The monopoly of power can only be addressed by Kenyans through a constitutional review to end imperial presidency,” said the Azimio chief.
