The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has come out to defend the benchmarking trip which is expected to kick off from 25th March.
Chairman Wafula Chebukati on Saturday in a statement said benchmarking is one of the ways the commission intends to use to ensure adoption of international best practices.
This comes after the Star ran a story indicating that the commission is set to go a Sh30 million trip in six countries to benchmark on boundaries review.
The countries lined up for the benchmarking trips are US, Australia, Canada, India, South Africa and Nigeria.
But Chebukati while responding to the article said the commission is exploring various ways of conducting the benchmarking including desktop literature review, inviting experts among others.
Chebulati did not refute the fact that the commission will go a benchmarking trip.
HERE IS CHEBUKATI’S FULL RESPONSE
