Why IEBC's Sh30b budget for polls raises eyebrows

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) plans to spend Sh30 billion as the 2017 General Election nears.

But critics say, huge budgetary allocation does not necessarily guarantee free and fair elections. The Law Society of Kenya has urged the commission to fast restore public confidence in the process following revelations of alleged graft in the purchase of electoral material for the 2013 General Election.
