Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The committee hearing the petitions against the four IEBC commissioners have adjourned sittings to Tuesday to allow the defence team of vice chairperson Juliana Cherera to file a response.<\/p>\n

Justice and Legal Affairs Committee chairman George Gitonga said the decision was unanimous to ensure free and fair exercise.<\/p>\n

The decision followed an application by Cherera to have the sitting adjourned for 10 days to allow her ample time to respond to the petitions.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Apollo Mboya representing Cherera had sought for adjournment citing Article 50 of the Constitution on fair hearing.<\/p>\n

“This committee is inclined to grant adjournment however it is not along the terms asked for but according to terms considered as fair by the Committee,” Gitonga said.<\/p>\n

“Hearing of this matter will proceed tomorrow November 29 from 8 am.”<\/p>\n

Earlier, Cherera demanded adjournment of the committee sitting over recent President William Ruto’s tweet referring to the four commissioners as rogue.<\/p>\n

Through Mboya Cherera said Ruto’s tweet is injurious to her and appears to suggest a predetermined conclusion.<\/p>\n

The lawyer said her client is already prejudiced given that the President is the one mandated by law to form a tribunal once the Parliament finishes its work.<\/p>\n

“We need better particulars. The tribunal will be formed by a person who has referred to the Commissioners as rogue,” Apollo said.<\/p>\n

“We seek the House to adjourn to obtain particulars from His Excellency the President. The petitioners however opposed the adjournment call claiming the lawyer is playing delaying tactics.”<\/p>\n
