  1. All border issuance of id cards go through vetting, why is it being made to look like its north eastern only? They are measures meant to vet the genuine kenyans from those across the border. It is done along Busia/ malaba border, kwale Tanzania border, west pokot – uganda border, migori Tanzania border, kajiado etc.

  2. May they NOT forget Ruto will come and go, be it in 2027 or 2032, he'll still leave office. Will Kenya's security be affected by this decision they are echoing?

  3. Nelson ,Explain to us how kenya security is in the hands of somali community..If RSF brings arms here ,Do you think Harji would tell the country or Amin??It is by Gods mercy Duale the Defency Docket .

  4. this man talks like a fool, if your county bosses clean your accounts to build islii how do you blame marginalisation? vetting is a must. so try elsewherre for sympathy

  5. Vetting has been a common practice in the bordering communities,I could not apply for My ID while in Kabianga High school with my classmates before KCSE in 2011 because I am from Suba district.I was told to go back to my village where my chief knows our home and I had to wait until 2013 to receive my ID.and I have never complained.why do you guys from North Eastern saying that you are being marginalized? Where I come from we never had electricity until recently.we don't have tarmac roads when it rains we cancelled our journey.And poverty was the main order of the day.We never complained,we knew our leaders neglected us so we just worked hard.Conducted Harambee for fees and stood for each other

  6. Imagine vetting citizens of border counties
    Someone provides ID and birth certificate
    And they are put on hold indefinitely at the passport department
    Then 40 to 100 burundians!!
    Get kenyan passports with no ID no birth certificates
    Then trump get to return them to kenya
    Now they are in jail in kenya
    What's wrong people

  7. Right Somali Kenyan were marginalized, and it’s not the only community, think of Turkana, Pokot, Taita etc many communities are affected by post neo colonial system of divide and rule and a new dawn is now here

  8. if its easier for anyone to get a Kenyan id then it becomes harder for Kenyan to travel to foreign countries… because people will be using the Kenyan passport to travel to foreign countries

  9. you can not give everyone citizenship because they are in Kenya. You must prove, you are a Kenyan through documents like birth certificate. your parents are Kenyan.

  10. I think vetting is okey. Corruption is the problem. Anyone who has been to northern kenya knows that the chiefs and elders run their parallel government. If there is no Corruption you will find most of the system we have just work fine.

  11. Some things are disappointing, what are you discussing. Where on earth you can give identity close to the border without vetting. You know at some point you think this thing Ruto is doing one time after his term it will cost him when those are given identity cards and they are not Kenyan coming for him and that time he won't have security as president
