Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye will be in Nairobi on Monday to preside over the launch of a book on Kenya's 2017 General Election.
The event will take place at the Intercontinental Hotel.Mr Besigye will be the main speaker at the launch of the book titled: Kenya: The Failed Quest for Electoral Justice.The book was authored by journalist John Onyando through a grant from the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC). Besigye was invited by KHRC to preside over the ceremony.Other speakers at the launch will include former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, political leaders, and lawyers who handled election petitions.A summary provided by the author, the book examined political events around the 2017 election within a historical framework and concluded that what should have been Kenya’s freest vote turned out to be its most tainted in the multiparty era.“The elections were so flawed that their true account would be established only through an independent audit such as the one led by former South African judge Johann Kriegler into the 2007 elections,” Mr Onyando said.
