**Moses Kuria Proposes Dual Tallying Framework Amid Outrage Over Election Livestreaming
Bill**

**NAIROBI, KENYA** — Senior Economic Advisor Moses Kuria has entered the heated 
national debate surrounding the decision by Members of Parliament to pass a bill
eliminating the requirement for live-streaming presidential election results.

The legislative move by the National Assembly has sparked public anger and drawn
sharp criticism from legal experts and leaders, including former Chief Justice David
Maraga, who urged lawmakers to drop the initiative.

Drawing from his presence during the presidential result tallies at the KICC in 
2007 and the Bomas of Kenya in 2013, 2017, and 2022, Kuria offered a historical 
perspective to bridge the divide between electronic transparency and manual verification.

Rather than abandoning electronic transmission, Kuria advocated for a two-tier tallying
mechanism at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) public portal.

Under his proposal, the country would run two distinct, simultaneous tallies per
constituency: a verified tally based on physical Form 34 hard copies and an unverified
tally generated directly from initial electronic updates as constituency results
are received.

“We need all results livestreamed as the hard copy Form 34s get verified at the 
National Tallying Centre,” Kuria stated. “As IEBC receives the individual results
from the Constituencies, they need to run an unverified national tally at the time
of updating the public portal.”

Kuria noted that this dual system would allow observers and citizens to cross-reference
counts in real time to spot potential discrepancies.

He added that if the 2027 polls run smoothly without administrative errors, Kenya
could transition to a fully digital electoral process by 2032, eliminating the recurring
tensions historically associated with the national tallying center at Bomas.
