President William Ruto has, today Thursday, announced that Kenyans will receive national identification documents (IDs) at no cost.
This is a departure from the initial government directive that required Kenyans to part with Ksh300 for new applications and Ksh1,000 for renewal.
”I have said that matters of ID be issued without any discrimination. Every citizen should be given an ID card without discrimination,” Ruto asserted.
”I want to announce here at Kibra that IDs should be issued without any payments and with a plan that is free from any sort of discrimination,” he ordered.
Speaking during his last day of the four-day working tour of Nairobi County at Ayany in Kibra on Thursday, the President announced that all government registration agencies should comply with the directive.
Further, the President directed that no Kenyan should be subjected to any form of questioning that might be deemed discriminative on their backgrounds during the application of the crucial documents.
I have gone to another county and I want to apply for an ID but they say it impossible since I was not born nor study there , why is it not possible and I have all the documents needed
