Radio Africa Group will publish opinion polls every month.
The group has had a research department for more than 20 years and its findings have informed its successful products and programming.
It doesn't take much to conduct a poll these days, but it does take quite a lot of care to conduct one well. We have created standards in line with the Publication of Electoral Opinion Polls Act - No. 39 of 2012, which we will abide by and will expect other credible polling entities to follow.
We believe public opinion polling is fundamental in a functional and young democracy like ours. We would like to hold those in power to account, give Kenyans the opportunity to debate and interrogate issues from a point of knowledge.
It is also an important principle of our governmental system that public policies are decided upon by the people. Popular control over lawmaking bodies, executives in the government, and domestic and foreign policy is a basic idea in our political society.
The people are the source of power. Hence, their opinions should mould the actions of the government.
Radio Africa will finance and conduct the surveys monthly and will publish the surveys every month. In case of change in financier, the opinion poll report shall indicate as such.
