IEBC Commissioner Justus Nyang’aya Resigns
IEBC commissioner Justice Nyang’aya has resigned from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), hours after being suspended by President William Ruto.
“It is with a heavy heart that I tender my resignation as a commissioner of the IEBC effective today (Friday),” Nyang’aya said in a letter to President William Ruto.
Nyang’aya said he made the decision in the best interests of the country saying it supersedes individual interests.
“I have always endeavoured to act in the best interest of the country, although my actions, taken in a good faith have been misconstrued,” he added.
He said in the last few weeks, he had gotten into soul searching and prayers, leading to the decision.
“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,” he said.
