Electoral agency’s vice chairperson Juliana Cherera has denied claims that she was barred from travelling to Greece alongside her counterpart Francis Wanderi. While defusing claims of being sidelined, she said the duo was among the top IEBC officials that led several stakeholders to Greece to witness the printing of presidential ballot papers. Three weeks ago, there were claims that Cherera and other commissioners had been kept in the dark on the arrival of the first batch of electoral ballot papers. Cherera blamed ‘communication breakdown’ for the mix-up that dogged the arrival of the first batch of the ballot papers three weeks ago. “That is the reason we invited stakeholders to Greece to do quality physical check-ups for the 2022 general elections,” she said.
