Political Parties banned from Nominating Foreigners

In extreme measures to abolish political party favouritism, political parties will not be able to propose “foreigners” as county assembly members.

A new law before Parliament requires political parties to nominate only those who are registered to vote in the county where they are to be nominated.

How Ruto plans to transform Agriculture when he takes over presidency

The Election (Amendment) Bill, 2021, presented by the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee of the National Assembly, proposes to redefine the nomination of special interest organisations.

It proposes amending the Elections Act to require that people nominated to county assemblies by political parties in accordance with Article 177 of the Constitution be registered voters in the county in which they are nominated.

“A person shall not be nominated by a political party unless the person is, on the date of submission of the party list by the political party, a registered voter in any of the wards in the county in which the person is to be nominated,” the bill reads.

The committee is chaired by Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni.

Kioni told the Star in an interview on Monday that the bill’s intention is to bring honesty and integrity in the nomination process by political parties qualified for the special seats.

“We have seen political parties misuse the nominations. We want people to get their rightful share of support for parties. If an area managed to get a particular number of votes, they should be the ones to benefit,” he said.

The lawmaker said the bill would end “scenarios where people are involved in a political process and those who benefit belong elsewhere or are from outside the county.”

“Why bring someone from outside the county? Of what value would the person be to the county assembly? We should be given our rights. A person from outside the county has no interest in the county. Sitting in any of the committees is a waste of time,” Kioni added.

Currently, there are 772 nominated MCAs – largely Jubilee and ODM, on top of the 1,450 elected across the 47 county governments.

“It is a question of honesty and integrity in the party nomination process and having people get the rightful share of what they have worked for. That is exactly where we are heading to. Political parties have to justify why they are nominating a given candidate,” the MP said.

Presently, the law simply provides that a person who is nominated by a political party shall be a person who is a member of the political party on the date of submission of the party list.

In the wake of the law failing to specify the need for such persons to be registered within the jurisdictions, they are nominated, there has been an outcry on the party listing process.

Parties, in the section of the law set to be amended, are required to nominate members to represent marginalized groups and for gender top-up.

In 2017, special interest groups threatened to sue political parties over the unfair nomination, citing the inclusion of foreigners and instances of nepotism.

Naivasha residents rejected a nominee for the Nakuru county assembly on grounds of being linked to one of the MPs from the county.

They further said the nominee was not a resident of the county, having been registered as a voter in Kabete constituency, Kiambu county.

ODM members in Taita Taveta equally protested the unfair distribution of the special seats in the 2017 vote saying there was no single person living with a disability.

PWDs in Kwale also cited the non-inclusion of their members in the nomination with ODM backers in Taita Taveta singling out the nomination of persons who supported rival candidates.
