President William Ruto this week dissolved his cabinet with the exception of the Deputy President and the Prime Cabinet Secretary. He also signed the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which will set the stage for re-establishing the polls agency, which has been without commissioners. This Bill is the first of nine proposed laws suggested by the National Dialogue Committee (Nadco) report. With the new law in place, a selection panel will be appointed to recruit new commissioners.
The signing of the bill also sets the stage for the formation of a new government with opposition leader Raila Odinga. President Ruto is expected to announce a new Cabinet soon. However, the former may be developing cold feet over the agreement as the move could be seen as a way to sanitise Ruto’s Government.
