By MAUREEN KAKAHMore by this AuthorFormer Lawyer Society of Kenya boss Apollo Mboya has sued the State, arguing that a website touting the government's achievements violates the Elections Offences Act. Mr Mboya argues that Section 14 of the Election Act bars the government from proclaiming its achievements during the election period and using public resources to do so. The said law was published in the Kenya Gazette on March 17 by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). He says the Jubilee administration is trumpeting its achievements in the wrong period and that information posted on the website is allegedly misleading. He points out that questions have been raised by Kenyans on Twitter about the achievements posted on the portal.
