    NAIROBI

    The new government also announced that elections at commune and prefecture level would take place in September. Local Government Minister Desire Nyandwi told RNA plans were underway to establish a national electoral commission which would implement and monitor the polls throughout the country. “We have decided to continue the democratisation process that began last year with the elections of local leaders at cellule and secteur levels,” he said. RNA recalled that some 160,000 grassroots leaders were elected last March.
