Mukhwana: 2027 polls will be secure, impossible to rig under current IEBC systems
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has assured Kenyans that the country’s electoral system is fully secure, dismissing claims that the 2027 General Election could be manipulated. Commissioner Alutalala Mukhwana said the commission is properly constituted and has put in place robust procedures that make it impossible to steal an election. He urged citizens to ignore what he termed “street talk” and instead participate actively in voter registration and the electoral process. It is impossible to steal an election under the current system,” Mukhwana said. Preparations for the 2027 general election is on top gear with the IEBC currently conducting voter registration.

Generals or soldiers?
Thus, the generals of the criminal organization (Article 333) are sentenced from 5 to 15 years of imprisonment, while the soldiers of this formation are sentenced from 4 to 8 years of imprisonment. This promises that for many decades to come, if this project becomes a legal reality, the same legal logic will govern the criminal liability of generals and soldiers of organized crime. Thus, the generals of the criminal organization in Article 491 are sentenced to 3 to 8 years in prison, while the soldiers of this formation are sentenced to 2 to 6 years in prison. This confusion of criminal degrees has nothing in common with articles 491 - 494 of the new draft Criminal Code. The President of the Republic remains to decree a presidential veto rejection, through which he will justify to the Minister of Justice, the Council of Ministers and the Assembly that soldiers cannot be promoted with the criminal liability of generals and that generals cannot be treated as soldiers.

Milimani Court Awards Apostle Ng’ang’a, Wife Ksh2.5 Million in Defamation Case Against Standard Media
By Andrew KariukiTelevangelist Apostle James Ng’ang’a and his wife, Loise Murugi Maina, have been awarded Ksh2.5 million in general damages after a Milimani Commercial Court found that a 2015 publication by Standard Media Group was defamatory. The court further noted that although the publication was based on material drawn from court documents, the media house could not rely on the defence of qualified privilege. The magistrate found that the proceedings referenced in the article had not been canvassed in open court at the time of publication. The media house also maintained that it used cautionary language such as “alleges” and “claims” in its reporting. While awarding Ksh2.5 million in general damages, the court declined to grant a permanent injunction against the media house, citing the need to balance protection of reputation with constitutional guarantees of press freedom.

Why Kenya is open to postponement of AFCON to 2028
Kenya’s Local Organizing Committee (LOC) Chairperson Nicholas Musonye has suggested that the 2027 CAF African Cup of Nations (AFCON), which Kenya is set to co-host alongside Tanzania and Uganda, could ideally be postponed owing to security concerns surrounding the country’s impending general elections. Follow our WhatsApp channel for more newsMusonye’s remarks come in the wake of a report published on Wednesday, 11 February, by The Guardian, a British newspaper, which indicated that the tournament could face postponement amid concerns that the three East African host nations may not yet be fully prepared to stage Africa’s premier football spectacle. However, speaking to AFP, the Kenyan LOC chair emphasized that shifting the tournament to 2028 would better suit Kenya’s national calendar, particularly as the country prepares for general elections scheduled for August 2027. “We’ve seen the volatile atmosphere around elections in Tanzania, Uganda, and even in Kenya. Security would not be guaranteed for such a big competition as the African Cup of Nations,” Musonye stated.
