We must avoid partisan voter registration based on profiling

Nationalist elder Muthoni Likimani would have been proud listening to those Turkana youth I met last week. They are fired up and ready to register as voters for the 2022 General Election. Wednesday’s IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati’s announcement that mass voter registration begins on October 4 will be music to their ears and other youth like them across the country. With the operations of the IEBC still chronically and deliberately underfunded, we must discuss how this exercise could still deepen our democracy.
