All Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) constituency returning officers will from today be trained ahead of the repeat presidential election.
IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati is expected to open a five-day training of IEBC’s 290 constituency returning officers and their deputies.
The thorough training will be conducted at the Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, and will end on Tuesday next week.
The Supreme Court annulled President Uhuru Kenyatta’s win on what it says were IEBC’s systemic issues, that included, but not limited to, unsigned results forms, and failure by the commission to follow its own set processes.
This systemic issues is what the agency is trying to cure with the training that has been tailored majorly to correct the mistakes pointed out by the Chief Justice David Maraga-led court.
