Taxpayers could fork out as much as Sh4.4 billion for each political party’s primaries conducted by the electoral agency.

Conducting competitive primaries in a ward for an MCA, MP, woman representative and governor is estimated to cost Sh3,000,000, according to ODM Director of Finance Joshua Kawino.
