Kenya's IEBC received the first shipment of ballot papers, printed in Athens for Ksh 27 million, ahead of November 27 by-elections in 24 areas including Senate, National Assembly, and county wards. Officials cite complex anti-fraud needs beyond local printers' capacity, despite criticism over costs and dependency sparking online debates. Distribution starts Friday with airlifts to remote spots, as all parties observed the arrival to build trust after past disputes.
