People's Liberation Party (formerly NARC Kenya) leader Martha Karua on Wednesday criticised the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) over its proposal to be allocated Ksh61 billion for the 2027 General Election.
Speaking on a local television programme on Wednesday night, Karua condemned the commission for inflating its budget estimates and called for an audit of the proposals by professional bodies.
According to the opposition figure, there was no justification for the Ksh61 billion, arguing that the proposed amount would make Kenya's elections among the most expensive in the world. "Demanding Ksh61 billion is budgeted corruption; this is a corruptly done budget.
Kenyan elections are more expensive than any other elections in the world," Karua asserted.
