The National Super Alliance (NASA) has demanded that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) be devolved and every county to have its own electoral agency.
The opposition proposed that the IEBC be devolved so each county can independently run its own elections, including that of the presidency.
Its leaders stated that the government used the IEBC officials based at Anniversary Towers, Nairobi, to compromise the polls.
NASA stated that county offices should carry out their own activities to prevent officials at the headquarters from influencing policies in favor of the incumbent.

This, they alleged, will empower government organs and ensure culprits face the full force of the law so justice is served.
“A small club of people is holding on to power to satisfy individual interests at the expense of taxpayers,” NASA Chief Campaigner Musalia Mudavadi stated.
He further stated that the opposition would remain firm in pushing for reforms which he termed the key to restoring electoral justice.
“Kenya must have a leadership that respects the rule of law, promotes electoral justice and has the interests of Kenyans at heart,” Mr Mudavadi stated.
The alliance was finalizing proposals on how the country’s governance structure should be changed so it is inclusive and preserves fair play.

“The current administration is a reluctant partner in pushing for justice and is busy fighting devolution and the Constitution to advance its interests. We’ll ensure the interests of Kenyans are achieved,” the ANC leader concluded.
