Koome urges IEBC to disqualify politicians linked to political goons

Chief Justice Martha Koome has called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to disqualify politicians found to be sponsoring political goons, saying the commission must move from rhetoric to action. Speaking during the launch of the IEBC Strategic Plan 2024–2029 and the Election Operations Plan 2025–2027, Koome urged the government to intensify efforts to deal with criminal groups ahead of the June 25 anniversary commemorations. Her remarks come as IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon called on political leaders to lower political tensions and promote peace.
