Majority Leader Aden Duale Among 10 MPS, Senators Accused of Holding Dual Citizenship

Majority Leader Aden Duale Among 10 MPS, Senators Accused of Holding Dual Citizenship

National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale is among eight Members of Parliament accused of holding dual citizenship.

This was disclosed by Kenyans for Justice and Development (KEJUDE), a lobby group that wants eight MPs, two Senators and one former MP probed for holding dual citizenship.

In a letter to Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), KEJUDE wants Duale, who is the MP for Garissa Town, investigated for allegedly holding Kenyan and Somali citizenships.

Other MPs accused of holding dual citizenship include Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan Abdi (UK citizenship), Marsabit Woman Representative Safia Sheikh Adan (Somali and Ethiopian), Mandera South MP Man Haji Ali (Somali), Daadab MP Mohammed Dahir Duale (Somali), Lagdera MP Mohammed Garane (Somali), Mwingi West MP Charles Ngusya Nguna (Greece) and Naivasha MP Jane Kihara (US).

The lobby also claimed Narok Senator Olekina Ledama and his Nakuru counterpart Susan Kihika hold both Kenyan and US citizenships.

Section 31(2) of the Leadership and Integrity Act bars dual citizenship holders from holding State positions.

“A person who holds dual citizenship shall, upon election or appointment to a State office, not take office before officially renouncing their other citizenship in accordance with the provisions of the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011,” the section states.

Article 260 of the constitution lists MPs as state officers, meaning the aforementioned leaders could lose their seats or be forced to renounce their other citizenship if found to be dual citizenship holders.

Total hypocrisy with some of these goons. Kwanza hio ya Duale ya Somalia ni kali sana, he should resign from that post with immediate effect and face charges. No wonder we can not contain Al- Shabab cos them guys are busy financing the terrorist group with their sugar business via their second home country. Useless people. How do we know whether he has been spying for Somalia for all these years! They went for Mwende sasa the hunter has become the hunted.

This confirms what I had said earlier about Somalian immigrants and their affiliation to Somalian. Nearly ninety percent of an estimated twelve million Somalians who have immigrated to Kenya recently are still Somalian Citizens and their loyalty is in Islamic republic of Somalia not Kenya

Mucanganga what makes you think Duale having been born in Kenya cannot have Dual citizenship? How do you think the others got Dual citizenship? They were all born in Kenya but acquired another citizenship. Duh!!

The 2010 constitution allows citizens to go to court, without going thru either DPP or EACC. I would like to see the evidence KEJUDE have on Ms Kihika, her duration in the US was not enough to become a citizen. Seems like KEJUDE is on a wild goose chase, possibly to become relevant.

Nobody needs to resign. They need to immediately amend the constitution and allow dual citizens to participate in any jobs. They need to apologize to Mwende and give her job back.
