ODM MP Issues 3 Demands To IEBC In Recruitment Process
Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kaluma has made three demands to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) panel, whose interviews have recently finished.
Kaluma noted on social media on Sunday, April 13, that once appointed, the commissioners should review overhauls in a number of areas, including the creation of a new voter registry.
According to Kaluma, the present registration included individuals who did not exist, as well as those who had been registered multiple times.
“Collapse the voter register and register voters afresh. The current voter register is full of dead people and individuals registered multiple times, some up to 5-10 times,” he stated.
“It is the reason you hear people from a region which comprises some 10 per cent of Kenya’s population shout to all other Kenyans how they have over 30 per cent of Kenya’s voters and therefore dictate who is Kenya’s president!” he added.
“The voter register is irredeemably adulterated and must be entirely collapsed.”

He also claimed that this gave the so-called “favoured regions” the authority to rig elections for their preferred presidential candidate.
According to the MP, the IEBC commissioners utilized the extra numbers to demand more funds in the budget.
“IEBC currently demanding Ksh62 billion to conduct the next elections – it is all about ripping Kenya off while enriching the IEBC entrepreneurs!” he stated.
Second, the MP urged that the new commissioners evaluate constituency and ward boundaries, which he assured will not change.
“This process should confirm the existing electoral units and boundaries; review doesn’t mean change,” the MP noted.

“Delimitation of boundaries of electoral units is an emotive process which ends with litigation before a bench of judges. We don’t have time for this, noting we are in the middle of the 3rd year of elections.”
Finally, he encouraged the commission to stop collaborating with foreign countries and groups that, he claimed, intervened in elections.
“Stop the Commission from colluding with foreign powers and organisations to interfere with our elections,” he concluded.
“Through elections, countries determine their leadership. He who pays the piper calls the tune. We must, therefore, fund our elections.”
