Church leaders now want President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration and Parliament to fully constitute the electoral agency ahead of the 2022 General Election.
Through the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), the clerics who spoke in Nakuru, said failure to have a fully constituted Independent, Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) showed lack of preparedness for the next polls.
