Listers, This is indeed good news. We have a lot of hope in Mucheru and Victor Kyalo industry veterans who have indeed worked their way through the trenches. Most importantly we hope to see the return of a multi stakeholder form of engagement in the sector which we have been yearning for in a while. I think as a sector we might need to prepare a wish list for our new leaders and most importantly commit to work with them towards achieving their mandate. The reshuffle is timely still it comes at the end of the year and will allow us to start 2016 on a new slate.

Kenya Election Dispute – Should We Open The Server?
by David Indeje 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Dear Listers, Mr John Walubengo gives us an introspect to the above question which continues to elicit debate within the Kenyan political scene. Do you agree? "The server will not show you who won or lost since that as explained above is already known by midnight election night from the polling station Form34As. However, the server has some other useful information that IEBC is yet to share -the data about the election data." Read along: bit.ly/40iHYuW
