    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson of the Committee on Education should understand that it would be very wrong for us in the Senate to respond to the issues raised by the students who would like to resume their studies in a manner in which he has. The questions were very simple. First, to ascertain if Prof. Otieno is a resident of our country where he can manage his work properly or he is running two offices. If he is running two offices, this means that he is earning two salaries; one in South Africa; and this hinders his commitment to the work that he is supposed to do at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. I wish he could have just clarified on that and stated the way forward. The Chairperson is aware that Article 78(1) and (2) of the Constitution on dual citizenship is very clear. It states:- “(1) A person is not eligible for election or appointment to a State office unless the person is a citizen of Kenya. (2) A State officer or a member of the defence forces shall not hold dual citizenship.” We are questioning the constitutionality of this situation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
