  "summary": "Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has called for investigations into claims that Ugandans are being issued with Kenyan identification documents ahead of the 2027 general election. The allegations suggest that Ugandans are being given Kenyan IDs to enable them to vote in the election, a claim Kalonzo believes is part of President William Ruto's political strategy. Kalonzo urged the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to investigate the claims, questioning whether the move is intended to increase support for Ruto. The claims come as political parties intensify preparations for the 2027 General Election, with voter registration and the integrity of the voters' roll becoming major political issues.",
