What you need to know:

  • Under the Diasporians Against Corruption in Kenya (DACK), they condemned the recent political manoeuvres, warning that the “unconstitutional and undemocratic” actions risk undermining the principles of democracy and setting the country on a perilous path.
  • DACK chairperson Ben Ateku faulted the dramatic ouster of Mr Gachagua in a span of less than a week saying it was a politically motivated attack by the Kenya Kwanza government aimed at power consolidation.

Kenyans in the diaspora have vowed to engage development partners and the international community to highlight issues threatening democracy in the country.

Speaking to the Nation yesterday, the diaspora community cited the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, continued delay in establishing a new electoral commission and a proposal to extend presidential term limits as key concerns.
