    "content": "financing which touches on political parties and part of this fund is used to finance campaigns, that is also another role of the IEBC. As we speak, the IEBC has been unable to rein in political parties to demand proper and full accountability on the source of their funding. The IEBC is supposed to do a number of things, according to the Constitution. One; is to manage or regulate party nominations. It has failed. Two; to regulate campaign financing - it has failed. Three; to conduct continuous voter registration - this has failed. Four; to conduct voter education - that is not happening. Five; to maintain a voters’ roll - you remember from the last petition, we were not even sure how many voters’ registers we have in this country. The IEBC should develop and enforce the code of conduct. It is also required to investigate and prosecute cases of electoral offences. We just came from Kericho County by-elections. The IEBC came out puffing its chest saying that some Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) were involved in the campaigns. They were breathing fire saying that these Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) would be called to account. To date, we have not heard of any single pursuit on that particular matter."
