On February 13, President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered that Kenyans be issued with identification cards (IDs) wherever they are in the country.
“Hatutaki kusikia hiyo maneno eti mnatuma watu kwenye walizaliwa (We do not want to hear that people are denied IDs because they apply in areas other than their homes). You must register them in areas where they are living,” Uhuru said during Devolution Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri’s homecoming at Nanyuki Stadium in Laikipia County.
