National Assembly’s Justice and Legal Affairs Committee begins countywide public hearings on the proposed Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission reforms this Friday to get voters’ views on what should be done to the embattled commission.

The team will work with Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee in the nationwide meetings to be held in each of the 47 counties in the next four weeks.

The joint-committee that comprises Cord and Jubilee MPs sits this morning to make a timetable for the meetings.

The team, chaired by Ainabkoi MP Samuel Chepkonga, has already given a number of proposals for consideration in the reconstitution of the electoral body.

They include formation of a selection panel to pick the next IEBC commissioners.
