Video of Isaack Hassan Questioning Applications to IEBC Commissioners Job Emerges

• Former IEBC chairman Isaack Hassan once wondered why some Kenyans express interest in working in the electoral commission
• According to him, IEBC jobs are hazardous and won’t intrigue anyone who cannot put up with political pressure
• Isaack presided over the IEBC as its first chairman before he was unceremoniously hounded out of office in 2016

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) could be the only accursed institution among all the constitutional bodies.

The commission’s first chairman Isaack Hassan once implied that the electoral body is ill-fated and ends up being a poisoned chalice for those working in it.

In a radio interview some time back, Hassan revealed he was often unsettled by the decision of some Kenyans to apply for jobs in IEBC.

According to him, working for the IEBC, especially at the national level, could be among the most hazardous of occupations.

He implied that anyone who cannot put with political pressure can’t fit to serve on the commission.
