Intellectual Disability Should Not Bar Kenyan Citizens from Casting the Ballot
This week’s article addresses the exclusion of individuals with intellectual disabilities from voting in Kenya due to cultural biases, legal conflicts, and insufficiency. William Aseka advocates for legal amendments to reconcile conflicting constitutional articles and the introduction of supported decision-making. This would in turn enable intellectually disabled individuals to exercise their right to vote, aligning Kenya with international standards. He concluded by observing that ensuring voting rights for all, including those with intellectual disabilities, is essential for true democratic representation and inclusivity.
