"Election Campaign Finance Act 2013 -Kenya (Section 15)
15. Support by an organisation
(1) Any person who, or an organisation which contributes to a candidate, a
political party or a referendum committee shall channel such contributions through
the expenditure accounts specified under sections 7, 8, 9 and 10."

Comment

Organizations (including corporations) are allowed to support candidates and parties but have to follow strict guidelines.

Importantly, an organisation is defined by Section 2 of the Election Campaign Finance Act to "include a club, group, foundation, business or a registered society."
