It is approximately a year to the 2017 General Election, and the country must embark on setting up appropriate mechanisms to ensure a just, peaceful and efficient electoral process.

My overarching argument is that there is need to reform key electoral and governance institutions before the 2017 elections. These include the electoral management body (IEBC), the Judiciary and security organs under the Executive.
