RAILA, KAJWANG DENYING CENTRAL YOUTHS ID CARDS.

The elections cannot get any dirtier. National Politico has reasons to believe that the issuance of national identity cards is been manipulated in favour of a particular candidate. Immigration minister, Hon. Otieno Kajwang is in prime minister's camp and chances are they are working together to deny youths from particular constituencies/ counties their constitutional right of owning an identity card. This in turn has adverse effects on their lives since on many occasions they are asked to provide this crucial document. It also prevents entrepreneurial youths from exploiting opportunities because the starting point to any business is usually this document.

Case examples have been picked from several constituencies and a general trend is emerging where youths from central Kenya and rift valley, some of who applied for an id over a year ago have not received it, yet those from perceived Raila strongholds have been receiving id cards within two months pr less. About one month ago, Kajwang announced that new machinery had been acquired and that id card production would continue normally. However, the situation in some areas (not regarded as high risk areas) like Kiharu of Murang'a is far from normal. With elections coming up next year, the perception is that some people will be prevented from picking a voters card by virtual of not possessing a national identity card. The lot that has waited for almost a year may finally receive theirs, but by giving people in central the mentality that an identity card will take one year to be processed, it will seem normal for anyone in central applying for an id now to wait till after the elections.
 
The ministry of immigration has done a pretty good work by making the process of  checking identity card status a click away. Lets look at some statistics to confirm the above. Please pay a a lot of attention to the constituency/ area of application and the date of application.
