Wajir Residents to Get Police Clearance Certificates in Under Five Minutes

Wajir County's residents can now receive their Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs) in under five minutes, thanks to a new Multi-Biometric Identification System (MBIS) installed at the Wajir Hududa Centre. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) introduced the system on November 11, 2026, to enhance public service delivery and decentralize services. The traditional process previously required applicants to wait at least 14 working days for their certificates.

Under the new system, residents can complete the application process and receive their PCCs in less than five minutes. The DCI provided practical training for Huduma Centre staff to ensure they could operate the system and assist the public effectively. This upgrade is part of the DCI's broader initiative to expand access to modern criminal identification and records management services, particularly for residents in remote areas.

The DCI aims to reduce waiting times and eliminate the need for residents to travel to other towns to obtain their PCCs. They invite Wajir County residents to visit the Hududa Centre and experience the improved PCC application process, highlighting the agency's commitment to innovative procedures and timely, responsive, and citizen-focused services.
