Njeri Maina Says What Parliament Did After She Offered To Speak On Fraud In Voter Registration

Njeri Maina has said that Parliament has authorised her to present evidence showing that non Kenyans have been registered as voters ahead of the coming election.

She made the announcement in a post online, saying she has already told the legislators what she intends to hand over. The claim about the registrations has not been independently verified.

According to Njeri, the document she plans to submit will run to 500 pages. She did not say what it contains, how she obtained the information or which areas it covers.

The size of the file suggests she is working with a large volume of records, but its contents will only become clear once it is presented and examined by those responsible for reviewing it.

She ended her message with a call to sanitise the nation, a phrase she repeated with strong emphasis.

The wording shows how seriously she takes the issue, and it reflects a wider concern among some Kenyans that the voter register must be clean before the next general election.

Questions about who qualifies to vote and how the register is verified have come up often in the build up to previous elections.

Voter registration is handled by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, which is expected to verify the details of those who sign up.

Any claim that foreigners have been listed would raise questions about the checks used by the commission and the safeguards in place to prevent such cases.

If the evidence is presented as she says, the committee involved will have to test it and decide whether the claims hold up. Until then, the allegations remain her own.

The matter is likely to draw reactions from politicians, election officials and the public, especially as parties start to mobilise their supporters to register in large numbers.
