Darubini Ya Uchaguzi Issue No. 12

ELOG’s newsletter Darubini ya Uchaguzi continues to feature informative articles on issues impacting the electoral space. There is a lot for the citizenry to contemplate and reflect upon as the country heads towards the home stretch of the 2022 General Elections. In the current issue’s guest column, we feature Tom Kagwe, a political scientist and human rights researcher. His insightful and informative article speaks on matters of fraud and impunity that impact the electoral processes in the country.

In the follow-up article, we commemorate Venerable Jephthah Gathaka as we remember the contributions he made in the governance sector. He initiated, organised and participated nationally and internationally in various advocacy and lobbying efforts to promote justice, peace and reconciliation, inter-religious dialogue and the environment. In his interview, he spoke on the history, evolution and journey of election observation as well as its implications on elections and electoral processes.

As is the norm, the electoral news roundup brings you a full range of issues occurring in the country. Further, ELOG would like to offer a word of thanks to our contributors, readers and reviewers for their support of the e-newsletter and its mission to disseminate and share information on issues impacting the electoral environment, guided by the electoral cycle. Re-launching it was no small feat, and we have achieved a good measure of success with timely articles and consistently high-quality content from outstanding contributors. We continue to welcome contributions to this ideal forum of information exchange on topics related to elections and electoral processes. If you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please address them to info@elog.or.ke.
