The IEBC on Monday October 3rd began a mass voter registration exercise targeting millions of new Kenyans.
IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati said the commission is targeting to enlist at least 6 million new voters as the country prepares for the August 2022 General Election.
This however is proving an uphill task as lowturnout for the exercise has been recorded.
On the Wednesday morning topic, Maina wanted to know why this is so.
8 things you need to know as IEBC begins voter registration today
“this is disturbing. I asked you if you intend to vote and yesterday I heard that people have no intention to vote. you don’t want to vote net year why?
Kingangi said the apathy is understandable but people must vote “kukasirika inakubalika but you have to do the right thing. pick up that voter card uende upige kura, ama inaleta katikati ya pressure, unajua watu wako na pressure” Mwalimu Kingangi added
Maina urged the IEBC top pay attention “There is a 37 year old gentleman who said he has no intention to vote. Mr Chebukati tandika mkeke, are you listening?”
