    "content": "It also seeks to align the electoral law like I said, Elections Act No. 24, with the judgment of the Supreme Court in the Presidential Election Petition No. 1 of 2017 and also in the High Court decision in the Katiba Institute and Others versus the Attorney General of 2018. The court made some certain pronouncements that challenged the validity of some of the provisions within the Act and declared some of them constitutionally invalid. So, they exist in books on electoral law and yet, they have been invalidated by the courts and this Bill intends to remove them so that anyone downloading the Act from the Kenya Law Reports Website does not refer to those Acts that have been invalidated. It is unfair keeping those things in the Act and yet, they have been nullified already by the courts. So, this is basically a clean-up exercise."
