Six governors from arid counties have faulted the State for rolling out the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) without prior civic education on the programme, warning it would lock out majority of local residents.

The governors under the Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC) umbrella warned lack of awareness and short period set for the registration would inconvenience communities in Northern Kenya who are largely pastoralists.
