Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission(IEBC) is under fire

Tweet

IEBC is a body whose mission to ensure that elections are conducted in a free and fair manner.So here in my country,the opposition team with its supporters have been holding weekly anti-IEBC protests in a bid to have the officials of this commission sent home on claims that they have been involved in well known corruption scandals yet the government has done nothing about this issue. The opposition leader said that with such street protests,it is enough to tell the commissioners that they cannot be trusted with the country's forth-coming general elections in 2017 and thus should resign. However the street protests have not supported the street protests as they feel dialogue is the best way forward to go about this issue concerning the commission that is constitutionally in place. I think the opposition ought to always get a fair hearing but when it results to use of force,then this is not good because this attracts petty individuals who go out destroying property all in the name of supporting their leaders.
