Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has faulted the IEBC Selection panel over their interview questions posed to candidates seeking to be the next chairperson of the electoral body.
In a statement dated Tuesday, March 25, Sifuna opined that the questions being asked could not bring out the unique attributes of the candidates.
He described the questions by the panel members as long and windy.
Therefore, it would be difficult to judge who is the most qualified candidate for the job.
"I’m not sure what this IEBC selection panel is looking for in these applicants. The members have long windy questions that don’t seem to be helping to bring out the unique attributes of the candidates that qualify them for the job," he wrote on his X page.
