In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) Establish the cause of delay in payment to owners of vehicles that provided transport services to ferry election officials and materials in Embu County during the recently concluded August, 2022 election. (2) Outline measures the IEBC will put in place to address their contractors’ grievances in their short and long-term plans in order to avert such delays in future, and; (3) State whether there are plans in place to compensate the vehicle owners’ and their crew, particularly the matatus used, on losses suffered as a result of delayed payment since most of the vehicles are usually purchased through hire purchase agreements."
