The constitution is so clear and i support the stand that a PUBLIC OFFICER must not hold dual citizenship. One must denounce his second citenship to be a public servant. We cannot exhaust the benefits of this clause. Public intereste overides personal and selfish interest. As much as Kenyans in the diaspora have been given some priviledges, we cannot expose our country to an extent that we blind ourself from the risks of dual citizenship. A number of Somalis have got Kenyan citizenship, and still transoit to other countries to attain the same through alienship and finally as a total citizen. In such a case they hold three citizenship. The result is the same as those sOMALI-Americans who are fuelling and funding the Al Shabaab and other militia groups in Somalia. They can reside in three countries bila hussles, and commit all sort of crimes then move to another.
Limitations to dual citizenship is necessary for anyone wanting to serve in a public office in Kenya. Lets respect the law as it was passed and we move forward to more progressive issues.

It's not the constitution itself, it's the interpretation at the Regulation stage that is proving to be contentious.
The constitution simply states that occupants of State Offices must be citizens of Kenya, and nothing else. The exclusion of dual citizens from the civil service is a creation of some minds at the Regulation stage. We just have to advocate against it.

The constitution says that holders of State Offices must be Kenyan citizens. The same constitution also allows for dual citizenship.
I worked very hard to get my Canadian citizenship and I am not willing to give it up.
Jagem, if it's true the dual citizens are not allowed to occupy State Offices, then we should stop sending any money home; we should also withdraw our memberships from any Kenyan-based organization. There is no point for me to belong to a movement in Kenya if Kenya does not simply accept me as a citizen.
Thank God the truth of how things are is now coming out. I am resigning from all Kenyan-based organizations as of now and this mail should serve as a notice. Why bother? I will concentrate my efforts on private business as someone suggested here a few days ago.
No more Maurice J Oduor in politically related activities. I just want to apologize to all my colleagues in various movements. I am out and I wish them luck in transforming Kenya.
Courage,
Oduor Maurice

I do not see a problem with this provision. Holding a public position is such a sacred privilege and needs to be by persons of impeccable loyalty! Moreover, this provision was as is the entire period we conducted extensive constitutional debate on this fora; therefore I do not understand why people are sulking over it now. Why would anyone want to serve to publics?
The principle behind Dual Citizenship is to allow Kenya nationals resident in other countries to access opportunities that they would otherwise not access in those countries by virtue of them being non-citizens and still retain their Kenyan citizenship with all benefits and rights safe for right to be elected or appointed into public service.
Unless there is something I am not seeing in the bigger picture, I see nothing wrong.

This may mean that my Canadian citizenship has to go, something I worked so hard to acquire. Life sure sucks.
