Starting today, top managers and technical staff of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission will be trained to operate the newly acquired equipment. Preparing for electionsYesterday, IEBC communication manager Andrew Limo said the trained officers will then train lower cadre staff, including assistant registration officers, register of voters verification assistants and verification clerks. “The programme aims to train all the staff on KIEMs and the process of verification of the register of voters. For the past six days, the IEBC has been training returning officers, deputy returning officers, county returning officers and its technical staff on the registration of candidates. On many occasions, electronic devices deployed in the field malfunctioned, or the IEBC staff did not know how to use them.
