The Kenyan taxpayer may be forced to dig deep into their pockets to pay million of shillings to the outgoing 9 IEBC commissioners after a deal for their exit is reached.

The process of paying the IEBC commissioners is expected to end this weekend. 

On Friday 30th September the IEBC commissioners  agreed with the government in a meeting that lasted more than 5 hours to get their dues from the treasury.  

The exit package will include forfeited salaries and allowances, and gratuity for the years they served in office as it was proposed by  Joint Parliamentary Select Committee on IEBC. 

Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua, led the government team said the negotiations were held as by the law and parliamentary recommendations.
