NAIROBI: Amid the fiasco surrounding the continued stay or exit of the current IEBC commissioners, the registrar of persons dropped a political bombshell last week.

It was revealed that a whopping 9.2 million Kenyans were eligible to be registered as voters but were not. This figure should worry the political class. Be it the ruling coalition or the Opposition, a slice of only ten per cent can drastically tilt the political arithmetic in favour of either side.
