Speaker Wetang’ula - boundary delimitation process biggest casualty of delayed IEBC reconstitution.

National Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang'ula has expressed fears that the boundary delimitation process may be the biggest casualty of the delayed reconstitution of the electoral agency.  

Speaker Wetang’ula noted that while the delayed reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has hindered the timely conducting of by-elections in various constituencies and wards, he also stated that it may be impossible to create additional constituencies.
