An Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) IT employee has been reinstated following an unfair termination of his contract after claims of deleting voters' data from the servers.

Employment and Labour Relations Court judge Jacob Gikeri found that the IEBC was unreasonable for firing Cosmus Kioko without producing evidence or making reference to the allegations against him.
