Letter: Concerns over Kenyan elections
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The letter from S. B. A. Bullut, the Kenyan High Commissioner (6 July), is misleading. Opposition parties and the National Council of Churches continue to express serious concerns about the electoral commission. Indeed the opposition parties' decision, announced on 1 July, to abandon the boycott of voter registration, was based on an understanding that the government would review these concerns.
Article 19 welcomes any measures to build confidence in the electoral commission and to ensure full participation in the electoral process.
Yours faithfully,
