    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Welcome once again, Prime Cabinet Secretary. Commendably, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) rolled out the voting rights for the diaspora remittances. These are some of the highest exchange earners for our country, hence the need for them to continue exercising their right to determine the presidential vote. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, have you considered rolling out consulates in States where we have a heavy population of Kenyans, like Texas, Atlanta, besides Los Angeles, New York and Washington where we have an embassy, seeing that these are the stations where the voting takes place in the USA? Have you also considered that the cost of diaspora accessing this station is still very high? They would have to spend close to Kshs1,000 to access a voting station when it is time for them to vote. What are you doing to mitigate that effect, reduction of cost and access to the stations where they need to vote every cycle of five years?"
