Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The four embattled IEBC commissioners on Thursday afternoon boycotted the hearings for their removal by the Justice and Legal affairs Committee.<\/p>\n

Vice chairperson Juliana Cherera and commissioners Francis Wanderi, Irene Masit and Justus Nyang’aya are facing petitions for their removal from office.<\/p>\n

Earlier, ODM leader Raila Odinga had asked the commissioners to give the sessions happening at County Hall a wide berth.<\/p>\n

“We advised the commissioners to boycott it in the interests of constitutionalism and rule of Law,” he said.<\/p>\n

Raila had said by summoning the commissioners, Parliament is usurping the role of a tribunal.<\/p>\n

“They are trying to prejudice whatever tribunal could be formed. Parliament roles must be limited to summoning the petitioners and deciding whether the issues raised warrant the setting up of a tribunal,” he said.<\/p>\n

Raila said the conduct of IEBC was part of the election petition and none of the commissioners was found to have committed any offence but Chebukati.<\/p>\n

“Only IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati was found to have acted unilaterally, this problem is therefore politically motivated and a continuation of the witchhunt mission that President Ruto is on,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It will turn into a native partisan fight.”<\/p>\n

Raila said its a time to unify the country and not fight each other.<\/p>\n

“This is a time when we need to unify the country and tackle our problems. Infact this country needs to move on and UDA must allow it to move on,” he said.<\/p>\n
