IEBC scales down poll budget to Sh 31.5 billion.

By PETER OPIYO
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission still has a hurdle
to overcome as MPs and Treasury are not convinced with the
Commission’s reduced budget of Ksh31.5 billion.

Even though IEBC reduced its budget from the initial Sh41.4 billion to
Sh31.5 billion the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Legal
Affairs and Treasury said the cost was too much and could be further
reviewed. Treasury had allocated IEBC Sh17.5 billion.
