Kenya’s poll among world’s most expensivehttp://www.standardmedia...e/?articleID=2000057945
If a budget of Sh35 billion were approved, it would work out to some $10 per person and a whopping
$23 per voter.When Nicaragua went to the polls in 1990 in the wake of the brutal Sandinista regime, it spent
$11.8 per voter.
Angola spent
$22 a voter in 1992 in the first elections after a 17-year civil
Liberia
($6.1)El Salvador
($4.1)much of the cost went to peacekeeping operations. “Low costs of about $1 to $3 per voter are common in the United States and most of Western Europe,”
“A number of nations around the world also report low costs, including Benin ($1.6), Botswana ($2.7), Ghana ($0.7) and Senegal ($1.2) in Africa.”
We can't even afford it! that is the sad part.
Richer countries spend less but here we are as usual trying to reach out to what we cant afford.
Even the excuses given aren't good enough cz we aren't that unique.
This is what will happen,We will be forced go begging for funds and the donors will determine how the elections will go.
The vote is already cast!I feel very sad for this Nation
