House team approves Bill to move General Elections from August to December

By Alphonce Shiundu | Aug. 21, 2014

Justice and Legal Affairs Committee Chair Samuel Chepkonga.

Nairobi, Kenya: The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee of the National Assembly has approved a Bill to amend the Constitution to move the General Election date from August to December.

The committee said the Bill should be published "forthwith" so that come 2017 when polls are expected, the electoral commission will be prepared for the second Monday of December, and not the second Tuesday of August as is hitherto provided for in the Constitution.
