    "content": "Currently, she is a member of Taita Taveta County Public Service Board which has prepared her well for management role even at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). She has taught in a number of institutions and has a passion for Kiswahili which will be valuable in IEBC on such matters as voter education and partisan conduct. She has never been a member of any political party. She has never contested in any election. She will exercise fairness and diligence in her role as a member of the Commission. She has never served the interest of politicians and will not extend favours even at the county level. Professor Abdi Guliye was born on 25th November 1962 in Wajir County. He holds a PhD in Animal Nutrition from Gut Microbiology and Immunology Division, Rowett Research Institute, Bucksburn, Aberdeen and School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen, Scotland. He also holds a Master of Science degree in Animal Production from the same University. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Production from Egerton University. The nominee‟s vision is that he is committed to offer his contribution and to make sure that IEBC achieves success on its constitutional mandate to deliver credible election to the people of Kenya. On experience, he has been in charge of student election at the university for the last two years. A period during which there has been no unrest over the conduct of students‟ election as was the norm before. He has experience as a leader in various positions and crucial skills in strategic planning. He will engage with the political party‟s liaison committee on regular basis with regard to addressing any concern they may have. He will also encourage continuous voter education to ensure we have educated voters and he will help implement management contracting to improve on the delivery by the Commission staff. Some functions of the IEBC can be devolved to improve efficiency."
