  • Kenya General Elections, 2017
    FINAL REPORT REPUBLIC OF KENYA General Elections 2017 REPUBLIC OF KENYA European Union Election Observation Mission FINAL REPORT General Elections 2017 January 2018 This report contains the findings of the EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) on the general elections 2017 in Kenya. The EU EOM is independent from the European Union’s institutions, and therefore this report is not an official position of the European Union. KEY CONCLUSIONS OF THE EU EOM KENYA 2017 1. The Kenyan people, including five million young people able to vote for the first time, showed eagerness to participate in shaping the future of their country. However, the electoral process was damaged by political leaders attacking independent institutions and by a lack of dialogue between the two sides, with escalating disputes and violence. Eventually the opposition withdrew its presidential candidate and refused to accept the legitimacy of the electoral process. Structural problems and specific electoral issues both need to be addressed meaningfully to prevent problems arising during future elections. 2. Electoral reform needs to be carried out well in advance of any election, and to be based on broad consensus. The very late legal amendments and appointment of the leadership of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) before the 2017 elections put excessive pressure on the new election administration. 3. Despite efforts to improve the situation, there was a persistent lack of trust in the IEBC by the opposition and other stakeholders, demonstrating the need for greater independence and accountability as well as for sustained communication and more meaningful stakeholder consultation. There was improved use of technology, but insufficient capacity or security testing.

    September 14, 2017 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OFFICIAL REPORT Thursday, 14th September 2017 The House met at 2.30 p.m. [The Speaker (Hon. Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS Hon. Speaker: I will make the communication a little later when we have more Members. PETITION IRREGULAR ACQUISITION OF VIPINGO COMMUNITY LAND Hon. Speaker: Order Members! Hon. Members, this is Petition No.01 of 2017. Standing Order No.225 (2)(b) requires that the Speaker reports to the House any petition other than those presented through a Member. I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my office has received a Petition signed by one Messrs. David Munga Mwadende of ID No.8463168 and James Kalenga Muganga of ID No.5012765, on behalf of the indigenous people of Vipingo Lands Community in Kilifi County. The Petitioners aver that during the colonial era in 1913, the Government took over their ancestral land for public use with the assurance of resettling and compensating them, but this never happened. Further, upon expiry of the leases, the land was transferred to private owners under unclear circumstances instead of reverting back to the Kilifi residents. This state of affairs has rendered them as squatters to date. The Petitioners further contend that even with successive Governments coming into power, efforts to reclaim their ancestral lands through the National Land Commission (NLC) and State Department of Lands have been futile. This, according to them, is a contravention of Article 60(1)(b) of the Constitution which recognises and upholds the principle of security of land rights.
