Feb 9, 2013 Kenya: Elections Ready or Not, 2
Violence in the aftermath of the 2007 Kenyan elections
which claimed 1,300 lives shows just how vital it is
Kenyan police are properly prepared ahead of polls this
March, Amnesty International said in a new report, Police
Reform in Kenya: A Drop in the Ocean. The report details
how delays in implementing new laws on policing mean that
many of the same police structures in place during 2007-8
post-election violence will be responsible for security
for the 4 March vote.
Feb 9, 2013 Kenya: Elections Ready or Not, 1
The experience of the primary elections in late January,
commented Kenya Human Rights Commission chair Makau
Mutua, "made one thing crystal clear. Kenya is illprepared
to conduct free and fair elections in March."
The elections, he argued, should be postponed and the
electoral authorities accelerate plans to manage the
election and the government prepares to contain possible
violence.
Jan 23, 2012 Kenya: Impunity & Elections, 2
"The promulgation of the constitution on 27 August 2010, was
a historic moment in our country. The constitution was a
culmination of the work of a lifetime for most people in
this gathering and many other Kenyans not at this meeting.
It may also stand out in history as the singular achievement
of Kenyans in this time. ... Yet, my concern is that there
appears not to have been a proper appreciation of the
essence of this constitution after its promulgation. ... I
have come to the inescapable conclusion that there are
Kenyans at all levels who are yet to make the mental shift
to the national and individual conduct that the constitution
heralds." - Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, December 2011
