Election process
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.
He 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.
