Parliament to question IEBC over failure to register Kenyans abroad

Nairobi, Kenya: Elgeyo Marakwet Senator, Hon Kipchumba Murkonen, has said the Legal Affairs Committees of the Senate and the National Assembly will at the beginning of the new year summon IEBC to explain why they have not yet started registering the Diaspora as provided for in the constitution and upheld by the Court of Appeal two months ago.

Senator Murkonen was speaking at the Daystar University yesterday during a Diaspora networking event organized by a Kenya Diaspora Alliance (KDA), a Federation of over thirty welfare, cultural, religious, political, philanthropic, educational, professional, and business organizations with an estimated membership of 250,000 Kenyans across the globe. A member of the Senate Speaker’s Panel, Mr Murkonen represented the Chief Guest, Hon David Ekwe Ethuro.
