The IEBC has made changes on the persons to be allowed at its National Tallying centre at the Bomas of Kenya.
The changes announced by commissioner Abdi Guliye will see some of those present at the venue vacate.
"We have made changes to access to Bomas tallying centre. We will only allow the presence of agents, persons who will help them, chief agents, deputy chief agents, clerks, observers and the media you can cover as you wish," he said.
"From now on, if you are not on the terrace, can you please find your way out."
Additional security officers have been deployed at the centre to reinforce the directive.
While addressing the media on Saturday, Chebukati observed the process is taking 3 - 4 hours to process one Returning Officer.
He said 265 returning officers have reported at the National Tallying Centre.
141 ROS have been processed while 124 ROs are still in the queue.
Chebukati said there was a need to beef up the verification exercise so that ROs can be cleared.
To enhance speed, Chebukati directed ROs on queue to hand over original results to National Returning Officer.
The ROs will then go to the ICT desk for verification of forms 34As against transmitted forms 34As.
"Presidential agents will be given copies of forms 34As and Forms 34Bs for their own consumption. We believe this will fasten the process."
