Former AG Justin Muturi has called for an immediate, independent audit of Kenya’s voter register and population database, citing serious concerns about the integrity of national data systems.

This comes after a recent directive by the IEBC requiring voters who registered before 2012 to resubmit biometric details.

His concerns also follow a recent audit by the National Education Management Information System, which identified approximately 973,000 “ghost learners” in the system.

He calls on the government to commission a comprehensive forensic audit of the population master register, to be conducted by independent, credible private firms under strict public scrutiny.

Muturi further calls on Parliament and oversight bodies to closely supervise the audit process to ensure independence and accountability.
