Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) vice-chairperson Consolata Nkatha on Sunday spoke out on the electoral body's activities since the Supreme Court ruling upholding President Uhuru Kenyatta's win in the repeat presidential election.
Speaking at Nchuare in North Imenti, Ms Nkatha told reporters that the Commission had moved past the elections and was focussing on other matters.
"As far as IEBC is concerned, elections are behind us. We have to deal with the organization and many other things. We are working on our strategic plan, staff and all by-elections that are going to come," she stated.
Ms Nkatha was at a fundraiser with her brother Patrick Bucha where they raised more than Sh400,000 for a local football club.

She further announced community projects for 600 women living with fistula as she encouraged youth to pursue their talents and dreams.
"Use what God has given you to turn your fortunes. If someone teaches you how to fish, they have given you food for life. You can give your best when it comes to your talents. Focus on what can help you become a better person in future," she conveyed.
Meanwhile, on Monday afternoon, the Supreme Court delivered a full judgment on their ruling upholding President Kenyatta's win in the repeat poll.
The six-judge bench found that IEBC was not at fault for excluding some parties in the repeat election because they were guided by a court order.
"Raila Odinga did not formally withdraw from the election but only declared his intention to withdraw.
"Petitioners didn't have proof that Jubilee Women's Brigade act of dressing in military regalia intimidated voters and that those who were intimidated would have been NASA voters who did not take part in the election in some parts of the country," Justice Smokin Wanjala explained.
