The electoral commission has warned all its staff that they will face prosecution if they abet fraud or sabotage during the August 8 elections. "Unlike in 2013, this year the law requires that errant officers be held individually criminally liable for their actions," said Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC) Commissioner Roselyn Akombe. The commission says the kits indicated 98 per cent accuracy during their one-month deployment in the voter verification exercise, indicating their readiness. The commission is currently training electoral officials who will handle KIEMS and has already dispatched more than 20,000 kits to the field. ALSO READ: Police seek assurance from IEBC on voter kits
