The electoral commission is under the spotlight over its preparedness to hold credible elections with only 19 days to go even as it insists it is ready for the exercise.
A second edition of a report dubbed “Ready or not?” that assesses pre-election readiness of the country, says the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is time barred and needs to move with speed on key and critical issues touching on Presidential ballot papers, voter register, electronic relaying of results and efficiency of its electronic voting kits.
The report released on Tuesday in Nairobi was prepared by the Africa Centre for Open Governance (AfriCOG) and Kenyans for Peace with Truth and Justice (KPTJ).
In the report, the two lobbies demand that the commission publicly tests electronic system technology that will be used during the voting day.
