Kenyans abroad will be able to vote from their host countries in the next general
election. Speaking in Berlin, Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka promised that the much awaited electoral reforms will take into account the interests of Kenyans living abroad. The VP is on a state visit to Germany alongside several members of parliament.
@elvin234: Your kitu kidogo statement makes no sense. Want to rephrase? The question of voting in absentia is not a policy matter, it is about effectuating civil rights guaranteed in the constitution. Kenyans abroad currently participate in the political and social life in Kenya thru proxy and do not enjoy the fruits of their labor. The least that could be done is to stop denying them their civil duties. Refusing to vote is a crime in some countries.

We fought for this right to vote becuase it is our birth right. We never intended it to be the talking point for politicians every time the travel abroad. My question is: how can we vote if you have refused to register us? Voting goes like this: 1)you establish identity, 2) YOU ISSUE A VOTING CARD and 3) you make it possible for us to have either voting centers or electronic voting. The next time an official comes and tells you that you will vote, ask him/her, HOW? We need voter registration!

Wonder how this will work though. On one hand it takes clear-headed diasporans who will not receive "kitu kidogo" as far as they are to vote in sensible people. On the other hand, they are not really in ground zero to effectively see and experience the effects of their choices.Dilemma. But a good start in policy-making, to consider all kenyans. It is valuable, same way most sensible countries have discovered this; considering all their citizens wherever they be.
