A number of Kenyans across social media circles believe that this is a pure political witch hunt given that the incident occured just a few hours after IEBC through Chairman Wafula Chebukati declared that Aukot’s punguza mzigo intiative signatures were genuine.

 

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) verified that Ekuru Aukot’s ‘Punguza Mzigo’ Initiative pushing for a constitutional amendment had met the required threshold of at least one million signatures.

IEBC stated that the initiative was supported by a total of 1,222,541 registered voters.

The draft Bill will now be submitted to each of the 47 County Assemblies for consideration within 3 months from the date of submission by the commission.

‘Punguza Mzigo’ initiative seeks for a constitutional review to reduce the burden of cost of governance to the taxpayers.

It seeks to scrap some positions of representations.
