By Otiende Amollo I am aware that varied interpretations have been proffered on this matter, the main contentions being whether elections shall be in August 2012, December 2012 or March 2013. From the outset, let me state that both in intent and design, it was the settled contemplation of the Committee of Experts (CoE) that the first elections under the New Constitution would be held towards the end of December 2012 as has been the practice in recent times.
