The National Assembly passed the Elections Amendment Bill 2024, removing the legal obligation on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to livestream election results. The bill, originally passed by the Senate, also introduced clauses on the recall of Members of Parliament convicted of offences. The move sparked protests and criticism from former Chief Justice David Maraga, former Attorney General Justin Muturi, and other political leaders, who warned of threats to electoral transparency.
