Justus Munyithya before the IEBC selection panel on Thursday, July 15 at KICC. [File, Standard]Justus Munyithya, a former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) official has proposed reforms on the procurement of election materials, should he become a commissioner of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). While appearing before the IEBC selection panel on Thursday, July 15, Munyithya suggested the poll agency's move to procure materials abroad was way expensive, considering the National Treasury slashed the electoral body’s budget. “Kenya is used to sourcing election materials from abroad, like Dubai, which I think is very expensive. Munyithya is among the over 30 candidates interested in replacing the four commissioners of the Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC), who quit four years ago.
