Disruptions caused in Nairobi’s Central Business District by people protesting against the electoral body may be a thing of the past if its headquarters are moved.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has proposed to the Government to have its offices at Anniversary Towers moved out of the CBD. If approved, the move will also save part of the Sh100 million spent on rent every year.
