President Uhuru Kenyatta Appoints 5 TSC Commissioners
President Uhuru Kenyatta has appointed Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and Teachers Service Commission (TSC) commissioners following their approval by MPs on Wednesday.

The move paves way for the swearing-in of the four IEBC commissioners - Juliana Cherera, Francis Wanderi, Irene Masit and Justus Abonyo.
Last month, the Court of Appeal ruled that the commission was not properly constituted, hence had no capacity to make major decisions such as involving a General Election.
Following their latest appointments, the IEBC is now duly constituted.
They will serve as commissioners of the electoral agency for a period of six years.
Cherera, Wanderi, Masit and Abonyo will replace Roselyn Akombe, Margaret Mwachanya, Paul Kurgat, and former vice-chair Consolata Maina who resigned from the commission in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
President Uhuru has also appointed five commissioners to the Teachers Service Commission, ending a quorum hitch that has marred the regulatory body.
Nicodemus Anyang, Christine Kahindi, Sharon Chelagat, Anceta Wafukho and Salesa Adano are also due to be sworn in on Thursday to serve for a period of six years.
Members of Parliament had been called for special sittings on Wednesday to among other things, approve the nominees to the IEBC.
