Nakuru Town West MP David Gikaria. [File, Standard]

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has summoned Nakuru Town West MP David Gikaria to appear before the commission at exactly 1.30pm today after he failed to appear at 9am on Monday morning.

A session, chaired by Commissioner Alutalala Mukhwana with Commissioners Francis Aduol, Noor Hassan and Anne Nderitu present, was conducting a hearing over Gikaria’s violation of the electoral code of conduct over utterances he made at Ol Kalou Constituency last week.

Gikaria did not appear before the commission but was represented by his Personal Assistant, Joseph Kariuki, who said the legislator was unwell and requested rescheduling of the meeting to another date, but failed to provide the necessary evidence to prove he was unwell.
