Nairobi, Kenya - The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has engaged with the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) to enhance campaign finance management and accountability leading up to the 2027 General Election. The talks centered on potential collaboration to create more robust mechanisms for tracking and overseeing election-related spending by political parties and candidates.

The two organizations also examined methods to reinforce the implementation of campaign finance reforms, encompassing financial disclosure and reporting obligations. IEBC stated that the suggested partnership would further aid ongoing education of political parties and other electoral stakeholders regarding campaign finance regulations. The joint initiative is set to encompass budgeting and financial controls, record-keeping, disclosure obligations, expenditure monitoring, and ethical management of campaign resources.

The Commission noted that this engagement is part of their broader efforts to bolster accountability in managing campaign resources and ensure adherence to existing electoral laws.
