The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader, Raila Odinga, has proposed a barrage of electoral reforms, including scrapping the voter's card.
Speaking on Sunday during an interview with NTV, his first since signing the 10-point agenda with President William Ruto in February, Odinga said that this step would not only lighten the financial load but also ease the electoral process.
According to the veteran politician, a national identity is the only requirement needed to vote, and the voter's card is just an unnecessary expense.
He further backed the idea of digitising the voter registration process, claiming that even though the process was cheap, its procurement was used as just another channel to funnel funds for politicians.
