IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati wants to relocate the electoral organ from Nairobi CBD.
Chebukati argues that constant disruptions caused by protests in the CBD are among the key reasons for their relocation.
The move will also see the government save on the Sh100 million which is spent on rent every year.
Chebukati is considering buying and developing land that will serve as the IEBC headquarters where all important meetings and trainings will also take place.
Chebukati added that senior staff will now undergo a mandatory vetting to enhance the commission's effectiveness, accountability as well as restoration of public confidence.
“Stakeholders will be accorded an opportunity to raise any concerns about our staff within a defined structure. The exercise will meaningfully address any integrity concerns, taking cognisance of the need to safeguard our employees’ lawful rights,” he said.
