Ruto’s removal of vetting for ID issuance a step toward equality
Kenyan Somalis and Boranas protest against long vetting process for issuance of identification cards as they display some of their birth certificates at Magongo in Changamwe in Mombasa County.
President William Ruto’s proclamation to abolish the vetting process for national ID applications, particularly affecting northern Kenya residents and other marginalised communities, marks a significant step toward addressing systemic discrimination and fostering inclusivity.
This policy change is not merely an administrative adjustment but a bold statement on equality and the recognition of every Kenyan’s right to citizenship.
