The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Keriako Tobiko, has announced when he will commence investigations against IEBC officials who allegedly mismanaged the August 8 elections.
Responding to a petition to undertake investigations and necessary prosecution on IEBC staff, the DPP stated that he was waiting for the full judgement of the Supreme Court.
He explained that he was yet to take action since the Court had not issued the detailed and reasoned ruling, which will contain the particulars and substance of the irregularities and illegalities found to have been committed by IEBC.
The DPP noted that it's only after receiving these details that he will be able to give clear, precise and specific directions to the Inspector General of Police or other criminal investigative agencies so as to facilitate a holistic and comprehensive investigation.
He further assured that his office takes seriously its constitutional and legal mandate and obligations.
On Wednesday, the Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu group wrote to the Prosecutions boss seeking his intervention in regard to criminal offences allegedly committed by the Commissioner and IEBC staff.
The group further argued that though the decision of the Court dealt with the presidential election, the violations or non-compliance with the law identified by the judges should also apply to the other elections.
Earlier in the week, the National Super Alliance (NASA) legal team stated that it was compiling a list of more than 1,000 IEBC officials which it would avail to the DPP for them to be prosecuted.
