In a multi-party democracy, it is expected from both the elected and appointed government officials at all levels of the political system to render periodic accounts of their stewardship to the population. There has been recurring post-election violence in Kenya due to disputed elections. The announcement of the disputed 2007 presidential election results in Kenya on December 27th, 2007 led to what could be described as the worst political crisis in Kenyan post- colonial history. This study was guided by the following specific objectives; to assess the effect of Candidate Registration System (CRS) on the credibility of the Electoral System in Nairobi County and to evaluate the effect of Results Transmission System (RTS) on the credibility of the Electoral System in Nairobi County. The study was anchored on Technology Acceptance Theory and employed a descriptive research design. The target population was 2,251,929 registered voters in Nairobi County and 40 Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, technical officials. A sample size of 351 respondents was used determined using Fisher’s (2007) formula. Primary data for this study was collected using structured questionnaires. The analysis involved both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The inferential results showed a positive correlation of (r=0.554, p=0.000) between Candidate Registration System (CRS) and credibility of electoral systems. Findings on Results Transmission System (RTS) and credibility of electoral systems showed a positive correlation of (r=0.648, p=0.000). Furthermore there was a significant effect between Candidate Registration System (CRS) and credibility of electoral systems (β=.152, p=0.000), and on Results Transmission System (RTS) and credibility of electoral systems (β=.155, p=0.000). The study concluded that Candidate Registration System (CRS) and Results Transmission System (RTS) are critical in producing high-quality, tamper- resistant voter ID cards and electoral results. The study recommends that there should be adequate policy and strict protocols for supervision, management, transmission and storage of electoral data.

Land speculation accompanies public policy planning in infrastructure planning and development in urban and peri-urban areas. The aim of this paper is to assess how the planning of (Greater) Eastern Bypass in the peri-urban Nairobi led to an increase in speculative activities by examining land subdivision and transfer before and after public notification of the bypass development. Land subdivision data for the period 2005 and 2018 are analysed to establish change in land size, subdivision, transfer and ownership. Findings reveal that normal land speculation occur after public notification; whereas structural speculation occurs during preliminary and design review. Land speculation circumvents subdivision process leading to approval without due process. Infrastructure planning is both a political and institutional process where political class and government bureaucrats influence road alignment. There is therefore need for coupling transport-oriented development planning with overarching land use plan; backed by enforcement.
