Too much noise about Election Laws. To live-stream or not?
See below an explainer 🧵 and be the judge.
Section 39 1(G) provides for, “a mechanism for the live-streaming of results as announced at polling stations…”

Looking forward to 2026 NCBA Economic Forum, under the theme “Sustaining Economic Resilience while Safeguarding Policy Gains in 2027.”
The forum will provide a platform for engagement on Kenya’s economic outlook, resilience and the policy priorities necessary to sustain economic gains.

Caveat: Livestreaming of results is not the same as electronic transmission of results.
The latter has its own Results Transmission Path established in law from the polling station to Constituency Tally Centre & the Presidential Tallying Center.
Unsatisfied, respondents including AG, Parliament appealed at the Court of Appeal. Dec. 2023, Three-judge bench agreed with the High Court on many findings including 39, 1G. For the same reasons of “a mockery”.

On Thursday 22nd October National Assembly voted to DELETE Clause 22 of Bill, “to avoid tinkering with Election Laws in an election period,” ML Ichung’wah.”
In effect, Sec. 39 remains as is. 1G still inconsequential, Court of Appeal (2023) already found it unconstitutional.
