Kenya Polls Body Splits Again as CEO is Suspended

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Chairman Wafula Chebukati has defended his decision to send CEO Ezra Chiloba on three months compulsory leave, saying this will enable a comprehensive audit of issues of procurement at the polls body. The decision has left the electoral body divided.
