The Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) needs Sh1.5 billion for voter registration, Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi has said.

The electoral agency receives Sh18 million per year for continuous voter registration, he said. This means that every constituency receives about Sh5,173 every month or slightly over Sh60,000 annually.
