The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is urgently appealing for an additional Ksh33.5 billion from the National Treasury to adequately fund preparations for the 2027 General Election.

• The commission's initial request of Ksh74.8 billion was met with an allocation of only Ksh41.3 billion by Parliament.
• The IEBC, led by Chairperson Erastus Ethekon, cites an anticipated increase in polling stations and the need for new technology, such as KIEMS kits.
• Key expenditures include Ksh9.3 billion for KIEMS kits, Ksh2.7 billion for ballot paper printing, and Ksh5.7 billion for temporary election officials.
