Voter Registration Scheduled For February

The national voter registration is set to begin in February. Preparations for fresh voter registration are in top gear as the Interim electoral commission moves ahead of a national referendum on a new constitution. The commission’s chairman Issack Hassan opened a five –day training workshop for the newly appointed election officials.

The officials will be trained on the process of national registration of voters and how to conduct civic education in order to ensure that Kenyans register in large numbers. They will then train their juniors countrywide.The IIEC expects the registration to run for four months before the referendum on the new constitution is held.The registration also involves a pilot electronic voter registration in anticipation of such a system in the future.

UNIFEM conducts RBM training for its GGP III Programme partners

The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) held a four day Result Based Management (RBM) skills training workshop for its GGP III program partners at Naivasha’s Sopa Lodge last December.

The workshop targeted Programme officers, Monitoring and Evaluation officers as well as finance officers with the aim of building capacity on RBM and institutionalizing the RBM culture which is crucial in achieving the desired project results.

The training provided knowledge and skills on how to develop, monitor and achieve the desired programmatic results.

Presentation Of HDC to Parliamentary Select Committee

The Committee of Experts (CoE) presented its final outline of the Harmonized Draft Constitution — enriched by the views Kenyans gave in the 30-day period their opinions were being sought — to the Parliamentary Select Committee on Constitution Review.

The team charged with writing a new constitution for Kenya retained the hybrid system of government in the revised draft released on Friday. The move to retain the hybrid system came after the experts failed to reach consensus on whether they should propose a purely parliamentary or presidential system.
