The Centre for Corporate Governance will conduct this month’s National Olympics Committee of Kenya elections, following a resolution passed by the Special General Assembly.
NOC-K boss Paul Tergat informed the meeting that The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, initially set to conduct the polls, were not available due to national engagements.
“We regret to inform you that the Electoral Board body, IEBC, has national engagements, thus will not be up to task to undertake the process and all the various steps needed for credible elections,” Tergat told the Extraordinary General Assembly.
“As an Executive Committee, we felt it was our responsibility and obligation to quickly move with speed for an alternative mechanism to achieve the same ends of a successful and acceptable electoral process hence reaching out to you once more.”
NOC-K also discussed with all its affiliates the pathway to the polls which will be staged on 16th November.
The federations were represented by their presidents and secretaries as well as representatives appointed by respective federations.
