Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has distanced itself on double registration of voters blaming the mix up on duplication of Identity Cards by National Registration Bureau 

On a press release on Thursday, IEBC noted that that there are several cases of shared ID numbers in the register of voters’ database. In most cases, this could be because of data entry errors at the point of registration or genuine sharing of ID numbers.

“Our attention is drawn to the reports that Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and Ms Susan Wanjiru Njoroge are registered as voters under the same identity card (ID) number . The Commission has been is in touch with the National Registration Bureau on potential National ID duplicates,” read the Commission’s statement .

The statement that was sent by IEBC’s Communication Manager Andrew Limo assured the public that since voters are identified using biometric features on voting day, no legitimately registered voters can be disenfranchised. 
In addition, any person whose National ID details are inconsistent with the details captured in the biometric system such a person is never allowed to vote.
“The law provides for correction of errors during the inspection of the register. There will be a month long period to inspect the register after the voter registration exercise is complete and the records captured are consolidated,” further read the statement.
