97 were statutory instruments requiring Parliamentary approval. Moreover, by dint of section 5A of the Election Campaign Financing Act, public consultations were required before tabling the draft regulations in Parliament and where it was not carried out, an explanatory note was to accompany the Regulations when forwarded to Parliament. Since no explanatory note was availed and no justification was offered by the IEBC for the failure to carry out public consultations, the Regulations did not pass constitutional and legislative muster for want of public participation and Parliament acted within its mandate in revoking the 2020 Regulations. Section 29(1) of the Election Campaign Financing Act, which required Election Campaign Financing Regulations to be tabled in Parliament before publication in the Kenya Gazette, was also considered contrary to Article 10 and 88 of the Constitution. In relation to contribution limits, spending limits and authorised expenditures, the Court ruled that once public engagement on these was carried out, there was no need to transmit the limits to Parliament for approval.
