Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has called for the abolition of Bomas of Kenya as the national tallying centre for elections, arguing that Kenya should adopt a system similar to the United States of America (USA) election process.
Speaking during an interview on NTV on Monday, March 17, Omtatah criticised the role of Bomas in election tallying, insisting that results should be finalised at the constituency level rather than being processed at a central location.
He wants election results to be finalised at the constituency level, stating that the Kenyan Constitution already provides a clear process for announcing election results, and there is no need for a national tallying centre at Bomas.
Omtatah argued that Kenya should follow the U.S.
