"content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the provisions of Article 78 of the Constitution are clear. It is to the effect that no person enjoying dual citizenship can be appointed as a State officer. In fact, it uses the words “shall be appointed a State officer…” The provisions of Article 260 of the Constitution enlist all officers. Sub- Article (q) provides for Parliament, by legislation, to introduce a category of persons who are also State officers. The Leadership and Integrity Act is very clear that ambassadors, high commissioners and consular officers are categorised as State officers. We are dealing with a person who is a citizen of the US by birth. She is a citizen of Kenya because her father is Kenyan. She is also a Nigerian because she is married to a Nigerian. For purposes of State office,"
