The Opposition has already started casting aspersions on the impartiality and independence of the incoming IEBC commissioners, even before they are appointed. One only hopes that the statement attributed to Cord in yesterday’s press is not the harbinger of things to come. The impression is being created that the Opposition is developing this cycle of intimidating electoral managers for the sole purpose of frustrating the process. There already is consensus on the kind of electoral managers Kenya needs. We want assertive individuals; firm in their belief for a better Kenya and who can stand up against bullying and intimidation from mainly the political class.
