Embattled IEBC commissioner Justus Nyang'aya has resigned from the electoral commission hours after President Ruto suspended him and three others to pave way for an investigation by a tribunal.

In a letter addressed to President Ruto on Friday, Nyang’aya said he was grateful for the opportunity to serve the country, saying the decision to resign was motivated by the desire to put the interests of the country above personal ones.

“It is with a heavy heart that I tender my resignation as a commissioner of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) effective today,” reads the letter.

“In the last few weeks, I have had serious soul searching and being a man of faith, prayed fervently so that I may have the wisdom to make a decision that is in the best interest of the country. We all agree that the best interest of the nation must always supersede our individual interest.”

He added: “I have always endeavored to act in the best interest of the country, although my actions, taken in good faith have been misconstrued. I am grateful that I have been given an opportunity to serve our great nation and intend to continue doing so In other capacities.”

On Friday, the president suspended Nyang’aya alongside IEBC Vice Chairperson Juliana Cherera, and commissioners Irene Masit, and Francis Wanderi a day after the National Assembly approved a report by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) recommending the formation of a tribunal to investigate the conduct of the four, who disowned the results of the August 9th presidential election.

The committee determined that the petition filed against the four commissioners raised enough grounds to warrant their removal from office.

Ruto went on to appoint High Court Judge Aggrey Muchelule as the chair of the tribunal whose members include Carolyne Kamende Daudi, Linda Gakii Kiome, Mathew Njaramba Nyabena and Col. (Rtd.) Saeed Khamis Saeed.

The tribunal was tasked with reviewing the petition and looking into the allegations made in it in order to remove the four commissioners. It shall then prepare and submit a report with recommendations and use all the legal authority granted to it for the proper discharge of its mandate.

Give this guy total immunity on the entire 2022 election/IEBC saga and let him start singing so we can catch Tuju, Orengo and even Raila- all those behind the attemped coup against IEBC and the Democracy of Kenya. Our Supreme court went short of saying the Cherera Four were corrupted by some powerful individuals who bribed them to abandon the post at the eleventh hour in oder to frustrate and topple the eclections. Remember Roslyne Akombe? She fled to USA in 2017 so as to topple the Maraga court ordered repeat ection. Who paid her to split the IEBC commissioner? Raila rejected the same repeat election saying that the IEBC lacked capacity to hold a credible election. Sounds familiar? Welcome back to your vomit just like a dog!

Muuaji Raila should first explain how the four BBI/HANDSHAKE/ODM thugs were appointed IEBC commissioners in the first place.Uhuru and Raila were not even ashamed in appointing Cherera-Joho’s mistress,Nyagaya-Nyong’s cousin,Wanderi-Kanini Kega’s brother.This will be Wazimu Mkuu Raila’s last violence.Hana bahati as Ruto is not Moi or Mwai or Muigai.On the other hand Khan sio Ocampo ama Bensunda.ATAMUFUNGA.
