By RUTH MBULAMore by this AuthorKenyans in the diaspora have given the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) 30 days to register them as voters. They formed the ‘Kenya Diaspora Must Vote (KDMV),’ a volunteer public-private campaign, to push for the implementation of their demand ahead of the elections in 2022. COURT ORDERDissatisfied with the IEBC’s failure to discharge its constitutional mandate, the Kenya Diaspora Alliance—one of the Diaspora organisations—and other civil society groups, petitioned the Supreme Court on the matter. “The IEBC presented these selectively registered voters in East Africa to claim that their voting represented the entire Kenyan diaspora,” the letter states. To date, neither the Constitutional requirements nor the Supreme Court orders have been implemented by the IEBC.
