The Diaspora Movement of Kenya has joined Kenyans in the diaspora and the Kenya Diaspora Alliance, in expressing dismay and disbelief after the revelation by Hon. Eugene Wamalwa, Kenya’s Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs that the Cabinet of President Mwai Kibaki’s and Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Ruling Coalition has expressly decided that eligible voters outside of Kenya will not be able to vote in the General Election slated for March 2013.As part of an emergency teleconference immediately following the Tuesday November 27, 2012 Cabinet announcement, DMK also overwhelmingly condemned the decision terming it unilateral and unacceptable.

“Citizens right to choose leaders is an inalienable right. This right is enshrined in Kenya’s new constitution under Article 83, sub-section 3. Diaspora Kenyans are within their right to demand for their full participation in the historic March 2013 elections,” said Robinson  Gichuhi in a recent statement.
