The National Assembly will hold a special sitting next Tuesday to consider the nominations of former Anglican Church Archbishop Eliud Wabukala and Wafula Chebukati to chair the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) respectively.

Lawmakers are expected to debate the suitability of eight nominees to head the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).

The nominees include former Anglican Church of Kenya head Eliud Wabukala, who has been appointed to chair the EACC, and advocate Wafula Chebukati, who has been nominated to head the IEBC.
