we do know that kenya has -- not just kenya, but kenya has something of a history of disappearance and assassination of political figures, prominent lawyers, human rights activists, witnesses, that happens. even by those standards, it seems to me this crime was particularly grazing and shocking. it was meant to have an effect. this was not a casual kind. this is not someone hijacked at 3:00 a.m. in downtown nairobi whose body was found in the gorilla forest the next morning. this was meant to send a signal of some kind. we just do not know exactly what the signal was. , in some ways, it casts a shadow over this election. in some ways, some of the enduring recollections of what will turn out to be a historically free and fair election, and there will be this unexplained murder. what thing it does send, that is indisputable is want of immunity. i'm sure whoever did this crime acted confident and within your sense of impunity. a near perfect sense of impunity. vincent pointed out, these were some of the most highly contested races. authority ton of counties was not entirely a popular idea

and the coverage of the election in kenya. you have teams all over the country and can you share with us a little bit. the reporters that you have out in the field did they had free access. were they able to get to the polling stations. were they able to talk to officials and to talk to voters. were they willing to talk to journalists and willing to share their experiences and secondly you guys were working alongside the kenya media. for them to come in for this event. and maybe you can share with us some of your impressions about how did the media cover this. do they do the right job. if i may ask a simple thing. you can able to go on to any of the important areas. when the results that they have. there was no restriction. i don't think there was any problem speaking with that participant in the campaign as a politician. they were moving around too much. especially pinning them down for a sitdown interview was a big challenge. their priorities were elsewhere. they wanted to appeal to the voters. and not to the interests in ta

do people in kenya want change?> it is clear that there is a climate where people have been criticizing the high level of corruption and the youth unemployment as well. also criticizing the fact that security remains a challenge in the country. we have seen over the last few years conditions in the country, including demonstrations against youth unemployment and so on. forums within the security and justice apparatus. >> thank you for coming to speak with us. deputy director of the africa desk at the international administration of human rights. holding ament is no-confidence vote on jacob zuma's presidency. inhas survived three votes the last three years. this vote is being held under a secret ballot. >> anonymity. that is the key according to the opposition to get jacob zuma out of power. a simple majority vote in a vote of no-confidence.

edith: in the same way that they had in kenya's political history.e believe being that if i vote for somebody who is in my tribe, whatever power they amass and whatever resources they have will eventually trickle down to me. how true that is i really don't know, but this is a belief that has been there in kenya since time immemorial. this time i don't think it will be any different. on social media people are making statements by some other tribes, based on assumptions who you will vote for. what everyone is hoping as i mentioned earlier, is that no matter how vitriolic people speak on facebook it doesn't transform the streets into bloodshed. sarah: i know we will be covering that election for us tomorrow as kenyans head to the polls. thank you very much for your reporting. many young kenyan voters feel that most politicians are not in touch with the people and the candidates certainly would be wise to get the youth vote. because 60% of kenyans are under 24 years old. the economy is key for them because youth unemployment currently is at 24%. opportu
