The government is targeting prisoners, high school students and marginalized communities living along border counties for the new Identification card registration drive.
Speaking in Kajiado town during the launch of the Maisha Card registration drive, Principal Secretary for Immigration and Citizen Services, Ambassador Julius Bitok, urged Kenyans to apply for the crucial document so as to access e-citizen and other important government services.
He noted that President William Ruto had abolished the mandatory Sh300 application fee for first-time applicants, and those without ID cards must take advantage of the waiver to acquire the vital document.
Bitok revealed that vetting has been abolished in 22 border counties, and Kenyans can now apply for the Maisha card in any National Registration Bureau office or Huduma Centre near them without being forced to travel to their county of birth.
