The electoral agency spent Sh27 million on procuring explosives detectors and paying for accommodation for commissioners during the tallying of the presidential results in 2017.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has cited swelling crowd outside Bomas of Kenya and volatile environment during the counting of the presidential vote, as a reason for incurring the expenses to procure security access system and other emergency services.
