While addressing the leaders the chairman said that he has registered about 14.3 million Kenyans in Kenya but he has not yet started registering those in the diaspora because there was no money allocated to him in the 2015 budget for the diaspora.

The chairman said that as far as he is concerned those in the diaspora will vote because the Supreme Court has ruled that those in the diaspora must vote. It is the question of how and where?

I will be coming back in UK in November and I will update you more on this issue.” the IEBC Chairman said.
