    "content": "citizen under Section 8(3) of the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011, signed on 21st February, 2014. This was one day after he had appeared before the Committee. What we realized was that the form that he forwarded to us as per the Act, Section 8(3), was meant for dual citizens by Kenyans who got citizenship after the enactment of the Constitution. It reads: “Every dual citizen shall disclose his or her other citizenship in the prescribed manner within three months of becoming a dual citizen.” This was actually a form that needed to be filled by somebody who became a dual citizen or a citizen of another country after the promulgation of the Constitution. So, we realized that this particular form that he presented to us was not of assistance to us in establishing how he regained his citizenship. We required forms that indicated that he was a dual citizen previously before the Constitution was promulgated."
