RETURNING OFFICERSIn the proposal, 47 constituency election managers and 290 constituency election officers were to be to be redeployed by May 4. These are the people who will later be gazetted as returning officers for county and constituency elections respectively. At the meeting, IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati contradicted Mr Chiloba before the staff, many of whom were to be affected by the proposed movements and transfers. Mr Chebukati and Mr Chiloba had gone to the hotel where at least 400 election staff have been training. The commission staff said that after Mr Chiloba had addressed them on the proposals, Mr Chebukati openly differed with the CEO.
