The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has called on the government to re-look the overall cost of holding general elections.

The accountants' lobby reckons that the exercise is too expensive, noting that the cost of holding this year's polls is at approximately Sh50 billion, compared to Sh26 billion that was spent in the 2013 General Election.
