According to chair Wafula Chebukati, the move is aimed to avoid disruption of business when the political class demonstrate.

Speaking on Thursday,  Chebukati said that they will acquire own premises.

"[It] would cut recurrent costs through office space rent, hiring of venue for various commission activities including meetings with stakeholders, nomination of candidates, training for staff and stakeholders, storage/warehousing for strategic and non-strategic material," he said.

Chebukati stated that no money will be lost in the project.

Over the past, protests by the opposition NASA/Cord against IEBC disrupted business within town.

Chebukati was speaking in Mombasa during the agency's post-election evaluation workshop.

"It is therefore in the greater interest of the city business community and residents for the operations of the commission to be undertaken away from the CBD," he said.
