Principal Secretary for Immigration and Citizen Services Dr. Belio Kipsang says the government has intensified efforts to ensure all eligible citizens obtain their identification documents before voter registration begins in January 2027.
The government is racing to clear a backlog of more than 557,000 uncollected national identity cards ahead of the 2027 General Election, amid concerns that thousands of eligible Kenyans could be locked out of voter registration.
