<div dir="ltr">"Speaking in Nyeri, CS Mucheru warned media houses against announcing any results saying that releasing election results is a constitutional mandate of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and that no other body is allowed to make any announcement."<div><br></div><div>Mucheru forgets that during any event of public interest, the only thing that cannot be shared is what is not seen or heard! Results are not the property of anyone, but the public and so the public will share them as announced. Maybe someone needs to ask Mucheru to define what "the public" means. Results will be announced publicly. So why should the media houses carry what is known publicly?</div><div><br></div><div>Drops mic.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 29 July 2017 at 15:55, Timothy- Coach- Oriedo via kictanet <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" target="_blank">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><a href="https://citizentv.co.ke/news/govt-threatens-to-shut-media-houses-announcing-election-results-171742/?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=notifications&utm_campaign=onesignal_notifications" target="_blank">https://citizentv.co.ke/news/<wbr>govt-threatens-to-shut-media-<wbr>houses-announcing-election-<wbr>results-171742/?utm_source=<wbr>onesignal&utm_medium=<wbr>notifications&utm_campaign=<wbr>onesignal_notifications</a></div>
