The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has turned to the United Nations agency to procure election materials and oversee deployment of transmission gadgets that were at the centre of the Supreme Court judgment. The IEBC said United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will finance the procurement under a partnership dubbed “strengthening electoral process”, which it has been running with the electoral agency.
The IEBC is awaiting Treasury’s advice on the UNDP deal as Parliament is expected to pass a supplementary budget that cut the repeat poll budget to Sh10 billion from the initial Sh12 billion.
