34. Are there provisions for free or subsidized access to media for candidates?

The Election Campaign Financing 2013 states that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission shall, after consultations with political parties, the officers responsible for the state-owned media enterprises and authorities responsible for the regulation of media in Kenya, set out the limit of media coverage of a candidate, political party or a referendum committee, which shall include paid-up advertisement; and free broadcasting spots or coverage in the print media. The law does not however, provide for subsidized access to media by candidates or even political parties.
