The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has announced enhanced measures at the Bomas of Kenya during the verification of presidential results in a bid to expedite the process.
In the revised rules of procedure, the electoral body's commissioner Abdi Guliye stated that only chief presidential agents from the four presidential candidates and their assistants will be allowed in the auditorium.
"We have made changes in the access to the tallying center as we will only allow chief presidential agents, their deputies and clerks to access this auditorium," Guliye stated.The announcement irked the political leaders and supporters inside the auditorium as some were heard shouting 'no..no..no' as they pointed at the commissioners.
Kenya Kwanza Alliance leaders present include Kipchumba Murkomen, Former Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok, Kandara MP elect Alice Wahome. This was after a disagreement over a strange computer device that was spotted in the tallying Centre.
