Polls agency IEBC is on the spot over a planned executive training for commissioners and directors on boundaries review. The IEBC is set to spend well over Sh1 million on each of the three commissioners and the acting chief executive officer for the seven-day trip. The last boundaries review was done by the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission that increased the number of constituencies from 210 to 290. Field officers who spearheaded the process, the majority of whom were absorbed by the IEBC and are still with the commission, did not receive any international training. A group of lawmakers caused a stir recently when they took a trip to Dubai for public finance management training, with the IEBC's signalling the slow return of expensive voyages.
