This came as Senator Orengo said the President had dragged his feet in signing the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill and delayed its gazettement. The selection panel will present 11 names to the President – two for the position of chairperson and nine for the commissioners. PSC vice chair Beth Mugo, on Monday, told the Nation that the team was set to send its nominees to the panel. “The commission is meeting on Wednesday and Thursday this week, and the nominees to the panel will be in the agenda,” Ms Mugo said on phone. On receipt of the names, the President will have seven days to select his preferred chairperson and six commissioners.
