The Kenyan government through Information Communication Technology Cabinet Secretary, Joe Mucheru has threatened to shut down media house that will release provisional results during the forthcoming general elections.
CS Mucheru cautioned media houses not to announce results, saying the mandate to announce is only bestowed on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
In the past, media houses have announced provisional results at constituency tallying centers before the results have been officially certified by the IEBC.
The CS's warning comes even as the opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) maintains that it must have a parallel tallying centre to make sure that results are not manipulated.
The Court of Appeal sitting in Nairobi ruled that presidential elections announced at the constituency tallying centres will be final, with IEBC chairman only declaring the winner.

What do they have to hide. What will be will be.They cannot compete with social media and it only takes one leak. Let them stop taking Kenyans for a ride.Everything that is done in the dark will come to light. Jubilee or NASA will not get the time to cook the results .By now each party should have hired what is known in some countries as grief counsellors.There must be a winner and a loser .These counsellors should "educate" both candidates the best way to let out their aggression should they loose. Kenyans just stay home and do not agree to be their foot soldiers being injured or even killed on their behalf.
UhuRuto are Going Down in Kenya's History as the Worst, Worst and Worst Leaders EVER. They have been Worst Than Murderous.

Kenya Halisi it's Unconstutional and Illegal to Shut Down the Media when Citizens are Excercising their CONSTITUTIONAL rights. Stop!!! taking us Back to the Days of Nyayo and Detentions. Get your heads out of Nyayo Sand Dunes. The Days of Sahara and Single Party were gone long ago in Kenya. So let's Smell in Peace the ROSES of DEMOCRACY that Raila and Others fought for (Day and Night) While Your Fathes were in Bed with Moi the Dictator.
