Kenya’s electoral commission is fighting new allegations of involvement in a conspiracy to sabotage a constitutional referendum planned for later this year.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) released a statement last week on Thursday denying a role in the submission of different copies of the constitutional amendment Bill to local parliaments — known as county assemblies — the National Assembly and the Senate for debate.
