Kenyans were left confused as to the exact date of the next General Election after President Kibaki sent mixed signals Friday.
The President took to the podium twice during a meeting with Nyeri County leaders at the Sagana State Lodge.
In the first instance, the President said those who want to seek elective posts should prepare for the ballot this year. "Tutachanguana baa....mwisho wa mwaka huu. The New Year. Mwaka ujao. Sindio?" he had said in Kiswahili.
But the Head of State later stood up to say he had been misquoted. The President said he could not alter a court's ruling even if he wished to do so. "It is important to restate that the court ruled the elections will be held in 2013. I cannot change the date because this is the court's decision." Raed more>>
