Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko on Sunday instructed Kenya’s criminal investigations department and anti-corruption commission to complete wide-ranging probes into the alleged offenses of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) within a 21-day period.
Tobiko ordered “thorough, comprehensive and expeditious investigations… with a view to establishing whether electoral and/or other criminal offenses… may have been committed by the IEBC officials.”
