Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has dismissed claims the government is attempting to interfere with the credibility of the coming General Election through banning live-streaming of results.
The Second-in-Command said the elections will be held as per the requirements of the Constitution and will be free, fair and credible with polling station results announced transparently and live-streaming permitted.
“There are people spreading rumours that the government wants to undermine our democracy, our freedoms and our electoral process. I want to say that, as a government, we cannot allow elections to be undermined or conducted in an environment lacking transparency,” DP stated.
