Dear Reader,
As the Darubini ya Uchaguzi e-newsletter enters its 11th publication, there is a lot to look forward to. In the current issue, apart from institutional reports, the e-newsletter highlights an insightful article from Philip Gichana, a governance expert and an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. In his article, he discusses the Campaign Financing Act, the lack of regulation and the costly effects on the country’s democracy.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is at the heart of all election cycles. In the follow-up article, we have a compelling read by Ambassador Koki Muli, whereby she discusses the proposed electoral legal reforms and administrative issues touching on the elections management body. She further emphasises the significance of safeguarding the country’s electoral integrity to avoid a political and democratic catastrophe.
In closing, the electoral news section brings you a full range of issues occurring in the country as we head towards the anticipated referendum and the 2022 General Elections. ELOG strives to make its e-newsletters impactful by utilising them as a tool to inform the citizenry of the current happenings in the political and electoral environment. We are always open to any ideas that will help us improve our e-newsletter. If you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please address them to info@elog.or.ke. Thank you and we hope that you will find the current Darubini ya Uchaguzi informative.
Enjoy!
