An analysis reveals that nearly six million registered voters lack biometric photographs. That is a fundamental breach of credibility.
Every legitimate voter must be identifiable. A register that contains faceless entries opens the door to manipulation. I have called on the @IEBCKenya to urgently conduct a comprehensive audit and remove all unverifiable records to restore public trust in our electoral system.
I also strongly condemned the violent attack on Senator Osotsi. This incident reflects a growing disregard for the rule of law and an escalation of political intolerance. Violence does not begin with actions alone. It begins with reckless language that normalizes aggression. This trend must be stopped.
Those responsible for the attack must be identified, pursued, and prosecuted without delay, including any who may have fled across borders. Failure to act decisively will embolden further lawlessness.
If this trajectory continues, we risk eroding state authority and pushing the country toward instability. Kenya must uphold the rule of law, accountability, and peaceful political engagement.
