IEBC told to conduct
efficient and transparent elections next year
Former President of the East African Law Society James Aggrey
Mwamu says now that the Commission is fully constituted as per the requirement of the law then it doesn't have an
excuse of not conducting Free, fair, Transparent and verifiable elections next
year.
He says Preparation should be put earlier enough to ensure that
the poll is a success across the country.
He says the issues of procuring of elections materials should be
done through an above board procurement process.
Mwamu says that the Electoral body have enough time to prepare
for a clean election which will never be challenged in Court after the polls
conducted and its outcome determined especially the Presidential election.
“Now that IEBC has fully been constituted and have all the seven
commissioners needed to make it a full Commission, they now have no excuse of
not conducting a credible polls come next year,” he says.
Mwamu has also asked the Electoral body to ensure that the
electoral code of conduct is fully adhered to by various aspiring candidates
who will be nominated to run for various political posts.
The lawyer at the same time told those who have not yet
registered as voters to do so when IEBC kicks off the process of registering
voters across the country.
“We want to take this opportunity to urge our people in the Six
counties within the Nyanza region especially the youth who have not yet
registered as voters to kindly take their time and register when IEBC will do
mass voter registration across the country. This is a very important exercise
which is a constitutional right enshrined in the constitution of Kenya 2010,”
Mwamu adds.
Mwamu has equally urged schools to ensure that their students do
well academically and get good grades to study marketable courses at the
university level
Through Kisumu Boys High School Alumni Association, Mwamu as the
President of the Association and some of its members have awarded some of the
Best KCSE candidates in the last year's Exams at Ksm Boys (Now Kisumu School).
The students who are about to join university this month have
been awarded with cash and other items that will help them to pursue their
University Education.
