More than 376,963 identity cards (IDs) are yet to be collected from various centres across the country.
Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho said on Wednesday the document is crucial and the ministry will ensure all those who legally meet the requirements have it. “I therefore call on all those who have waiting cards taken before December 2015 to send the waiting card numbers to my number 0780 719750 and the CS @GenNkaisserry number 0719 777719,” Dr Kibicho posted on his twitter handle @Karanjakibicho.
“Ensure you have collected your ID card from your respective centres. We’ve 375,963 IDs that are yet to be collected.” He was answering questions from Kenyans who had asked about delays in issuance of national ID cards.
Of the uncollected IDs, Rift Valley region leads with 81,243, followed by Huduma centres 57,583, Central 54,697 and Nairobi 45,083. Nyanza has 44,699 while Easter and Western have 32,334 and 22,732 respectively. North Eastern region has the least number of uncollected IDs – standing at 7,141.
Dr Kibicho’s call comes at a time when the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is gearing up for mass registration of voters between February and March 2016 in readiness for the next General Elections in August, next year.
The move has also seen politicians mobilise the masses to collect IDs and register for voting.

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive.

And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
