The Communication Authority (CA) in Kenya has declared that no media
houses would be involved in the transmission of results in the August 8
general election.
Speaking at the launch of Media Council of Kenya's election reporting
guidelines today, CA Director General, Francis Wangusi stated that the
authority will monitor all television stations in the country to ensure
they adhere to the laid down guidelines.
'Some media houses have threatened to transmit their parallel results,
but let them have this message clear that we are the watchdogs and we
shall not allow it.
There is only one body that can transmit election results, and that is
the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC),' he said.
Kenya's Incumbent President, Uhuru Kenyatta of Jubilee Alliance and
Raila Odinga of Coalition for Reforms party are the front-runners for
the presidential election holding in August.
