Interesting..waiting..I am conflicted though if I will vote. I feel since I do Not live in kenya I should not impose leaders on kenyans. Let them vote as they wish and face the consequences of their vote. One time I had long conversation with my mum but after I realized my vote would go against her then it dawned on me I would be choosing leaders for her and imposing my will on her even when I won't directly face the consequences of that vote. At point my whole opinion on diaspora voting changed

Even that...think if I impose Raila or ruto on my folks. It I'd not fair because they can't impose Biden or Trump on me

In many countries, citizens who live and work out of their countries are allowed to vote. Why not in Kenya?

.

This a personal decision on my side. I am for diaspora voting for everyone else. I do not plan on settling in kenya so my intentions are different

Arent you the one who complained that you took a kid to hosp and the kid was not properly diagnosed and ended up dead?
Why wouldnt you want to advocate for a better system?
You know what a better system looks like so voting accountable leadership will make things better.
Kenya needs SHIKUKUs, not BIWWOTTs and a middle class, nothing else.

As long as I send money to help various kids and relas, I will vote.
