Kericho County has registered a total of 1,265 Form Four students for national identity cards under the ongoing School-Based ID Registration drive targeting secondary schools.
The initiative aims to improve access to registration services among school-going youth and enhance compliance with the legal requirement for all citizens aged 18 and above to possess national identity cards.
The exercise, initiated by the State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services through the National Registration Bureau (NRB), seeks to ensure timely documentation for students transitioning from secondary education to tertiary institutions, job markets, and other government services that require proof of legal identity.
According to Kericho County Registrar Mr Chelangat Cheruiyot, the registration exercise has so far covered 33 secondary schools across all seven sub-counties, with 693 boys and 572 girls successfully enrolled.
