The parliamentary team said the 6-member group will examine proposals on the nomination of panelists to oversee the recruitment of IEBC commissioners.
“The question surrounding IEBC is a common issue as you would have noticed from the two teams. We have agreed that it is one of the utmost importance and needs to be prioritized,” said Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo who co-chairs the committee.
“We expect that by the time we come back, they will have concrete thoughts around that and anyone with any idea is welcome to share with us through our joint secretariat so that we factor them in our discussion,” added Otiende Amollo.
