2:17 pm
canyon's i still have a waiting for the election body to announce that as us. now this is taking a bit longer because of the procedure on the kind of him laid down the law that day i. e, b, c, the independent electoral boundaries commission. much use both follow the process of verification of, of the results to ensure that no errors on these checks are allowed or can be boned when the final telling is done. and this is because of the kind of political history of gum form where electron violence as a result from electrical disputes of the potential result. and so legally speaking in kenya or the electrical more, do you have a good 7 days from the day of elections to announce the. ready presidential results, but i'm sure that it will not credit to the 7 days because from my job day, the 7 days and the close of today as well. very helpful. i want to also because

2:20 pm
that's from a prime minister ella dina, and inc, i'm been to debbie to president william brutal. so that isn't from mission and misinformation on social media seems to be starting up there and motions of people and, and such across the country. and it is not so good, especially at m, such as this in an election that is so close. well, this has also been a hugely expensive election, i believe one of the most expensive paths i say in the wild and d kenyans feel it's been worth it, especially given that we're already hearing about allegations of vote rigging. now . well, this truly speaking a bit expensive election bed. so for i think while it is disturbing that we have such an expensive election, kenyon seemed to have been very keen on the level of transparency, fairness and accountability on the but of the i, b. c. in conducting and managing this election because devoid of transparency and
2:21 pm
accountability in this election, then the french would have been, as it was in 2017, when the supreme court of kenya allowed the provincial results in that election. leading to repeat the election of the presidential contest. and so i think this time around i bassy decided to be voted from spot and with regard to the funds the primary forms that i filled out of the bowling station which is up which are forms but to touch it will as well as funds that will be, and all of these i've been uploaded to the i b to website. and this level of transparency and accountability has reduced pressure from will additions on a be see. i'll see how that all continues to play out in the coming days. we'll be following that closely. here on out there at thomas began by there speaking to us from nairobi. thanks for joining status. thank you so much. now moving on and dozens of women in afghanistan have held a red protest and couple just days before the 1st kind of history of the taliban
