Marsabit County officials are appealing to residents to collect over 50,000 uncollected national identification cards issued since January 2025. Registrar of Persons Isaac Kibet emphasized the government’s commitment to universal ID access for eligible Kenyan citizens. Obtaining a national ID is crucial for accessing vital government services and exercising civic rights. The appeal aims to address potential barriers preventing residents from collecting their documents. Authorities are intensifying efforts to facilitate ID collection throughout the county. The initiative underscores the importance of national identification for full participation in Kenyan society. Kibet encouraged all applicants to visit registration centers to claim their IDs promptly.
