Whereas Kenyans adopted a new Constitution in 2010 that 
sought to devolve power to 47 counties and their elected 
governors and local representatives; 
Whereas the public confidence in the electoral process is crit-
ical both to Kenya’s continued democratic progress and 
to ensuring transparency in electoral preparations, and is 
vital for the success of the August 8 elections; 
Whereas despite having a permissive legal environment, the 
Government of Kenya has taken actions to limit demo-

which could adversely affect their contributions to a cred-

Whereas the advancement of science must be protected from
