Garissa Township Member of Parliament Aden Duale is yet again facing another hurdle after it emerged that he holds dual citizenship.
Activist Okiya Omtatah has written to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to probe members of parliament who hold dual citizenship, among them being Duale.
It is against the Kenya’s constitution for anybody with a foreign citizenship to hold any state office.
Through his later to EACC, Omtatah has published names of eight members of Parliament and two senators who are suspected to be holding dual citizenship.
He further requested EACC to disclose their findings within 15 days said that it is important for the lawmakers to adhere to the laws they expected the diplomats to adhere to.
“In the spirit of adhering to the rule of law and applying the law consistently and equally to all, it’s of overwhelming national importance and public interest that our legislators submit themselves to the same standards they have set for diplomats,” reads part of Omtatah’s letter.
Four MPs from North Eastern region are said to be having Somali citizenship and they include; Adan Bare Duale (Garissa), Adan Haji Ali (Mandera South), Mohammed Dahir Duale (Dadaab) and Lagdera’s MP Mohammed Garane.
Kamukunji lawmaker Yusuf Hassan Abdi and his Marsabit counterpart Safia Sheikh Abdi are said to be holding United Kingdom nationalities while Naivasha’s Jane Kihara is allegedly registered as US Citizen.
In the Senate, Narok Senator Ledama Olekina and his Nakuru counterpart Susan Kihika are registered as United States’ citizens.
