Elections

In 2017, the whole of Kenya seems to have one top subject to talk about: The General Elections. For journalists, key to election reporting is to know about the procedures and the role of the elected positions as well as the role of the IEBC. Impartial, unbiased and “cold hearted” reporting that scrutinizes information from any side is crucial for raising trust in the election process, the candidates and the outcome of the elections. We wish that the RoGGKenya election reporting section will help in this.
