The government, through the Department of Immigration, has urged Kenyans who applied for the new generation of identification cards to collect them from their respective application centres.

Immigration Principal Secretary Julius Bitok said on Wednesday, February 5, that more than 400,000 processed ID cards were yet to be collected in various application centres across the country.

Addressing the press at Nyayo House in Nairobi, Bitok revealed that the government had already issued three million ID cards since the government began processing the new generation of identifiers. "We have been able to issue 3 million cards to Kenyans across the country, there are many Kenyans who have applied for the IDs but are yet to be collected," Bitok said.
