Chiefs in Isiolo County have been instructed to ensure all residents over 18 obtain national identity cards and register as voters, according to Kenya School of Government Director Prof. Nura Mohamed. Speaking after a meeting with chiefs and assistant chiefs, Prof. Nura noted that many residents lacked identity cards, which restricts their access to government services and their ability to participate in the democratic process.
She urged residents aged 18 and above to obtain their identity cards, stating this would empower them to contribute to the country’s development. National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) Commissioner Josephine Elegai highlighted security concerns, including cattle rustling, banditry, and drug abuse, urging politicians and their supporters to maintain proper conduct before, during, and after the upcoming elections.
Isiolo County Commissioner Chaunga Mwachaunga confirmed that security agencies are prepared to tackle the security issues in the county. The National Government Administration Officers (NGAO) team pledged to resume the registration and issuance of identity cards in all Isiolo wards.
