Okello further wants the court to direct Prof Wajackoyah, IEBC and British High Commission to provide information as to his citizenship status so as to clarify his qualification to contest for the the president of the Republic of Kenya.
The petitioner avers that this puts to question Wajackoyah’s allegiance to Kenya if elected president.Okello argues that during some of his campaign rallies and television interviews it emerged that the Wajackoyah had at one point acquired citizenship of the United Kingdom and or had according to him become a citizen of a commonwealth country who does not require leave to enter or remain in the UK, or has indefinite leave to remain in the UK bringing to question his allegiance to Kenya as requirement for one to run for the office of the president and in his own words, the 1 st Respondent had even at one become a member of parliament of Totten Ham in United Kingdom.
Wajackoyah also allegedly revealed he was American citizen who has never acquired Kenyan citizenship. He added that his children were born in America and are currently UK citizens who have never been in Kenya and will only visit when he is elected as President since they are now adults.
“This shows further commitments, ties and loyalty/allegiance of the 1st respondent to another country hence disqualifying him from running for the position of the president of the republic of Kenya.”
