    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for your indulgence. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee of Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights (JLAHRC) on a matter of international concern regarding the criteria used in the designation of polling stations outside our country, Kenya. The Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) by Article 88(4) of the Constitution and Regulation 34 of the Election Voters Registration Regulation, which was done in 2012, is responsible for ensuring continuous registration of Kenyan citizens locally and abroad. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The criteria applied in the choice and appointment of locations for polling stations globally during the coming elections. (2) The procedures for voter registration, voter education and casting of votes by diaspora citizens, including provisions in place for ensuring transparency, accountability and access to information for Kenyans abroad regarding their eligibility, voting rights and where polling stations are going to be located in their areas."
