The government has been running a scattered defense in an attempt to mitigate public uproar over the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, 2024 and the provision to establish a mechanism for livestreaming election results for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Kenyans had earlier raised concerns that the amendments passed by the National Assembly on October 22 had removed the livestreaming requirement.
However, Members of the National Assembly, and even President William Ruto, have maintained that the livestreaming provision remains intact.
