A Kenyan parliamentary committee has proposed a substantial budget increase for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and other justice sector institutions to address funding gaps and prepare for the 2027 General Election.

• The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) is seeking Sh33.4 billion for the IEBC, including funds for ballot papers, KIEMS kits, and voter registration.
• Key institutions like the Judiciary, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and human rights bodies also requested enhanced allocations to handle election disputes and improve service delivery.
• Concerns were raised by lawmakers regarding procurement delays and the adequacy of resources for institutions like the Judicial Service Commission to manage increasing workloads.
