Justice Thande Mugure has said the move is unconstitutional and ordered the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to use the physical register to identify the voters.

The judge found that the decision of the commission to abandon the printed register violates the provisions of the constitution, which provides that where an electronic voter identification device fails then use of such physical register would suffice.

On IEBC’s insistence that only the electronic register, popularly known as the Kenya Integrated Election Management System (KIEMS) kits will used, the judge questioned on what will happen to a voter whose details cannot be picked by the kits.
