They include the audit of its technology, voter registration, update of the voter register, as well as the delimitation of constituency boundaries. The commission seeks to procure an independent firm to audit the system that was largely blamed for the disarray in the 2017 polls. “Without resources, we cannot conduct voter registration and sensitise Kenyans to come out to vote in large numbers as we did in 2017," Chebukati said. He said the money was to be allocated in two financial years, 2020-21 2021-22 to facilitate audit of the ICT systems, mass voter registration and boundary delimitation. This includes Sh2.7 billion for mass voter registration, which should be launched nationwide this December.
