Diaspora organizations today presented a petition to the Government of Kenya
through the Minister for Foreign Affairs seeking their rightful inclusion in
all matters of national importance. The petition, signed by 5 Diaspora and
Diaspora-centred groups including Diaspora Movement of Kenya (DMK), Kenya
Community Abroad (KCA), Kenyans for Change (K4C), Kenya Global Unity (KGU) and
New Vision Kenya (NVK-Mageuzi), together among them representing more than 90%
of Kenyans belonging to recognized, registered global associations was received
on the behalf of the Acting Minister Prof. George Saitoti by the Substantive
Assistant Minister, Hon. Richard Moima Onyonka, among other senior Ministry and
government officials, including an officer from the Government Communications
Office in the Presidency.</span></p>

with H.E. the President, Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, H.E. the Vice President,
Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Justice Minister, the Chief Justice,

stipulates the growing importance of Diaspora contribution to our
socio-economic, technological and cultural development as a people, noting that
more than 3 million Kenyans are presently domiciled beyond our borders,
remitting into the country in excess of KShs 150 billion (US$ 1.8 billion) into
the economy every year according to official figures, way above what any donors
or sector of the economy (agriculture or tourism included) brings in terms of
foreign exchange, yet the place of Diaspora is yet to be appropriately
recognized and anchored.</span></p>

Kenyans have become ‘senior citizens’ of countries of domicile.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";" lang="EN-GB">In
his response, Minister Onyonka, himself a former Diaspora appreciated the
delegation, welcomed the petition and promised to bring it to the attention of
the relevant government authorities. He indicated that some of the matters
raised are already within the purview of the Ministry, including the plan to
appoint a few Honorary Consuls in deserving areas once the legal and
administrative instruments are complete. He further indicated that in
recognition of the importance of Diaspora not only in numerical and socio-economic
terms, but also as Kenya’s unofficial ambassadors, the Ministry has already
created a Diaspora Desk with a senior officer as its head, and that the
Government is already working on a Diaspora Bill which will look into most of
the issues raised. He further confirmed that the Ministry is holding
preliminary consultations with the IIECK in how best realistically to have Kenyans
abroad participate in future in the governance of the country, including in
elections and referenda.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";" lang="EN-GB">Further
engagement is expected in the future, even as the Diaspora organizations
themselves explore more effective, efficient and inclusive ways of engagement,
with the possibility of an Umbrella Diaspora Alliance emerging. They thanked
the Ministry for the warm reception, looking forward to deserving attention and
speed in tackling the matters raised.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">PETITION BACKGROUND</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style=""><i style=""> </i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style=""><i style="">Importance of the Judiciary, the
Legal Sector and the Place of the Diaspora: </i></b>The passage and
promulgation of the New Constitution lends Kenya a unique and rare opportunity
to correct the wrongs of the past, including inequality and injustice, to
become once again a leading light among nations of the world. As is widely
acknowledged, whereas a nation can thrive with an under-performing executive or
legislature, it can hardly survive with a below-expectation judiciary. It is
with this importance that we view the ongoing legal and constitutional reforms
with great keenness. With over 3 million Kenyans believed to be in foreign
lands, remitting on average over US$ 1 billion (KShs 80 billion) a year, their
importance to our present and future needs no gainsaying. Hitherto, the
Government of Kenya has largely turned a blind eye on them. Yet this is in
spite of being a signatory to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights,
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (among others), whose Article 25 holds
that:-</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style=""><i style="">Every citizen shall have the
right and opportunity … without unreasonable restrictions: (a) to take part in
the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen
representatives; etc.</i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Article 2(1) of the International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights avers that:-</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style=""><i style="">Each State Party …. undertakes to
take steps, individually and through international assistance and cooperation,
and especially economic and technical, to the maximum of its available
resources, with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of the
rights recognized in the Covenant by all appropriate means…. </i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">We are deeply perturbed not only
at the apparent throwing merit out of the window in the ongoing appointments of
Committees and Commissions, instead replacing it with deal-making between the
two major partners in the Coalition, patronage, dynasty and other known ills
that have over the years denied Kenya the opportunity to excel, but also the
total exclusion of Diaspora representation in all this. <span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style=""><i style=""> </i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style=""><i style="">JSC role and importance of Diaspora
inclusion in the decision making process: </i></b>In the recently promulgated
constitution of Kenya Articles 171 to 172, the Establishment of the Judicial
Service Commission (JSC), its functions and the mechanisms of appointments of
the commissioners are well explained. Briefly, the Commission should consist of
the Chief Justice, who shall be the chairperson, one Supreme Court judge
elected by the judges of the Supreme Court; one Court of Appeal judge elected
by the judges of the Court of Appeal, one High Court judge and one magistrate,
one a woman and one a man, elected by the members of the association of judges
and magistrates, the Attorney-General, two advocates, one a woman and one a
man, each of whom has at least fifteen years’ experience, elected by the
members of the statutory body responsible for the professional regulation of
advocates; one person nominated by the Public Service Commission; and one woman
and one man to represent the public, not being lawyers, appointed by the
President with the approval of the National Assembly. The duties of Commission
includes:- promotion and facilitation of the independence and accountability of
the judiciary, promotion of transparent administration of justice, recommending
persons for appointment as judges, receiving complaints, investigating and
removing judicial officers, preparing and implementation of programmes for the
continuing education of judges and judicial officers, advising the national
government on improving the efficiency of the administration of justice among
others. These duties are primary to <b style=""><u>all</u></b>
Kenyans hence the appointments should net a wide range of talents including the
already known reservoir of the highly trained/qualified Kenyans currently
fitting the description of a Kenyan Diaspora – or at a minimum, seek their
views on the same. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The justification of the Kenyan Diaspora
consideration is based on the current statistics on the Diaspora constituency
and their contribution to running of the economy of our country. With remittances
ranking the second highest source of foreign exchange and contributor to growth
of our national economy only after tourism we cannot continue to treat them
with disdain. Among the Kenyan Diasporas are highly qualified Lawyers,
Engineers, Scientists, Medical Doctors and others currently constituting the
well documented brain drain phenomenon observed in many African countries. While
this constituency has worked very hard in development of the country and has
publicly indicated their interest in being contracted/included in the processes
that are of high value to Kenya such as JSC committee constitution, it appears the
government has some level of lethargy when it comes to their inclusion in the
Kenya decision making process. Indeed it saddens many that expatriates who
absolutely lack the passion and patriotism for Kenya have been preferred over
them. Kenya is losing a battle that every country would love to win if it
continues to exclude some of her brightest brains. Many cases abound to learn
from in terms of maximizing Diaspora input: India, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Rwanda,
China, UK, just to mention a few.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The purpose of this petition
therefore is to ask His Excellency the President, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, the
entire Executive Branch of Government, and the Legislature to ensure inclusion
of Diaspora Representatives in strategic committees and commissions including
JSC for the purposes of (1) Recognizing the Kenyan Diaspora Constituency (2)
Utilizing patriotic highly qualified human resources. In so doing, merit and
diversity should never be compromised under any circumstance, and replaced
instead with mediocrity, political expediency and ethnic bigotry. We seem to
forget that we can have no better or worse ‘Ambassadors’ in foreign lands than
these Diaspora.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="">PETITION</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">We the undersigned call upon the President
of Kenya, Prime Minister of Kenya and the Kenya Legislature to ensure inclusion
of Kenyan Diaspora Representatives into the JSC and all other future and existing
strategic committees and commissions. We believe this is in the spirit of
recognizing the Kenyan Diaspora constituency contributions to Kenya’s
development and working towards attracting highly trained patriotic services
and investment.</p>
