Nairobi (diplomat.so) - In a significant move to address discrimination, President William Samoei Ruto announced the end of extra-vetting and ethnic profiling for citizens from Northern Kenya seeking national identification documents.
During an event at the Orahey Grounds in Wajir Town, the Kenyan President signed and read out a Presidential Decree that officially ends the practice, which has long been a source of hardship for the region’s residents. The decree marks a commitment to promoting equality and inclusivity for all citizens in the national identification process.
