Kirinyaga County residents have been asked to collect their National Identity Card from their nearest national administration offices or the Huduma Center in Kerugoya Town.
Kirinyaga Central Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) Joseph Mureithi lamented that uncollected documents include both replaced ID cards and newly registered Maisha cards.
Speaking at Kamuiru Boys High School grounds, during Kirinyaga Central National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) bursary disbursement event, Mureithi said the production of IDs has increased in the recent past and applicants should check the status of theirs from the aforementioned offices. "We are asking those who applied to come forward and collect their IDs, a lot are currently in our offices and Huduma centre," he explained.
The DCC used the opportunity to assure the residents that the application of new cards is currently free and no one should fear that they might be asked to pay some amount calling upon those who are 18 years and above to go for the document. "Those who have completed form four or anyone above 18 years should apply for an ID, it will assist in different daily activities apart from elections," he added.
