Extra IDs requirements scrapped for Kenyan Muslims!!

[mpoipoi]

The law requiring Muslims to provide extra proof of nationality during application for national identity cards and passports is set for repeal.

Passport applicants will now only produce a national identity card and a birth certificate. The immigration and registration of persons’ departments will also ensure that applicants who will have lost their ID cards are allowed to apply.

Announcing the proposed changes after meeting officials of the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (Supkem) on Wednesday, Immigration minister Otieno Kajwang’ said: “We have agreed that the rules should apply uniformly for everybody.’’

Long overdue!!!!!!!! Good job Kajwang!

Let me second you.

This move has been overdue and the government is doing the right moral thing. You can not preach peace and unity and then turn around and treat some sections, regions, religion or tribal affiliations with double standards and still claim to be a democracy.

Yes indeed, all rules should apply uniformly for everybody.
