According to Capital FM, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has defended its recruitment process for a new chief executive officer.

The commission stated that all foreign applicants were disqualified during the selection process, the report said.

The defence came after the Maraga-led People's Coalition on Electoral Reforms raised questions about the nationality of some names appearing on the longlist for the position, according to the publication.
