I do not know why we are not able to incorporate these Kenyans into our voting system. If I am correct - if I am wrong, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki can correct me - I think the only Kenyans in the diaspora who are allowed to vote in presidential elections are Kenyans in USA and South Africa; just two countries. Even our colonial master, eight hours away from Nairobi County, Kenyans in UK cannot vote. It is a tragedy."}
