A High Court in Kericho has condemned the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to pay Sh2.5 million legal costs after it failed to secure polling materials in the Kilgoris parliamentary elections.

Justice Martin Muya however dismissed the petition filed by former MP Julius Sunkuli and ruled in favour of his competitor Gideon Konchellah who was declared winner in the August 2017 polls.
