The government has purchased a new national Identity Card (ID) printing machine, hoping to avert a crisis over delayed issuance of the critical documents.
The Principal Secretary for Immigration and Citizen Services Julius Bitok said in a Monday update that since the digital ID was introduced in November last year, the National Registration Bureau (NRB) had issued 972,630 Maisha cards out of which 531,329 comprised new applications while 441,301 were duplicates.
