From the Constitution:
Citizenship and leadership
78. (1) A person is not eligible for election or appointment to a State office
unless the person is a citizen of Kenya.
(2) A State officer or a member of the defence forces shall not hold dual
citizenship.
(3) Clauses (1) and (2) do not apply to—
(a) judges and members of commissions; or
(b) any person who has been made a citizen of another country by
operation of that country's law, without ability to opt out.
Further to 3, consolation is that Councillors are not state officers so dual citizens can gun for these elective posts if Parliament legislates to have them.
