Ruto assent IEBC bill 2022 seeking to alter the composition of the Selection Panel in filling vacant positions at the commission.
The Bill — which was considered and passed by the Senate last week — sought to alter the composition of the Selection Panel that oversees the filling of vacant positions in the IEBC.
This now paves the way for the composition of an IEBC selection panel to recruit new commissioners at the electoral body.
The approval comes after Senate okayed the bill last week as passed by the National Assembly without any changes.
