Other proposals include the need to eradicate ethnic-based politics and full compliance with Political Parties Act. The conference resolved the Press was ill equipped to deal with the challenges posed by the 2007 General Election. It alleged that the media were influenced by excitement, threats, intimidation, violence, bribery and political polarity. The envisaged EMB should develop methods of dealing with the media to improve the quality of election reporting.
"The EMB should also improve the process and speed up supply of election results to the media," said Nyaundi. The conference also reiterated the role of leadership in electoral reforms, saying the failure of leadership was to blame for the current electoral challenges.
