		Chief monitor Anders Wijkman (PRON: WIKMAN) praised the work of Kenya's electoral commission in the run up to what is expected to be a turning point in Kenyan history.
		Wijkman did express concern about reports that some candidates are trying to rig the poll by bribing voters.
		Wijkman said their concerns are understandable, given that the last two elections, in 1992 and 1997, were not free and fair because of widespread violence, bribery and cheating.

		ANDERS WIJKMAN: I do agree that consumer information is very important, but I have worked long enough with ecolabelling and consumer information to realise that at best we have 10-15 percent of the consumers who really are knowledgeable, who do bother to take in the available information.
