The electoral agency faced hard but familiar questions at the Bomas of Kenya yesterday as it ran a simulation of the system it will use to transmit the results of the August 9 election.

It was no easy task for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) as it was confronted by the ghosts of 2017 as it attempted to calm the worry of candidates and boost the confidence of the electorate two months to the polls.
