In a letter to the anti-graft agency dated 1st, October 2019, activist Okiya Omtatah had ordered for the audit of all members of parliament while choosing 11 members of parliament among them Aden Duale of Garissa as persons of Interest.
Omtatah had said two senators were American citizens, while eight members of the National Assembly and a former MP, who currently holds a top position in a parastatal, also have dual citizenship.
“The Constitution expressly prohibits Members of Parliament from possessing dual nationality if it was acquired through naturalisation,” Omtata stated in the letter addressed to the EACC chairperson Eliud Wabukhala.
