ParaNET proudly facilitated the latest Wajir Court Users Committee engagement after our official admission. We showcased our work on paralegal support, citizenship documentation, and community empowerment while engaging with justice actors to break barriers for pastoralists.

We conducted a successful community outreach in Kalkacha with the team from @NamatiKenya and the Council of Minorities from Bangladesh. We shared the full ID application process, provided hands-on guidance, and distributed application forms to community members.#myidmyright

We convened a Community forum in Barwaqo with @NamatiKenya and the Council of Minorities from Bangladesh. We discussed challenges surrounding citizenship documentation and listened to powerful stories of resilience, struggle, and hope. Real change begins when voices are heard.

A very fruitful day in Wajir as we welcomed @NamatiKenya and A team from council of minorities from Bangladesh.We had a productive discussion with community ambassadors on importance of legal identity and the vital role of ambassadors in community empowerment. Great experience.

Nubian Rights Forum convened Community Ambassadors to collaboratively draft memoranda on the proposed Kenya Registration of Persons (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration (Amendment) Bill, 2025. These submissions will champion equitable access to documentation, safeguard against discrimination, and push for inclusive citizenship frameworks. The fight for recognition and belonging continues.

This month, Namati celebrates women & their contribution to the communities & lands they nurture.

When women’s leadership in community land governance is strengthened & their spaces to lead expanded, the gains are transformative for the entire community. #GiveToGain #IWD2026

Suspended between legality and invisibility: Young Kenyans without IDs live recognised by the Constitution but ignored by the system. As election season approaches, their futures—and votes—remain on hold. https://t.co/AmxnBq94E0

Paranet today facilitated a pivotal stakeholder engagement with Wajir's media fraternity, delving into negotiated democracy's profound societal influence. Key reaffirmation: The media's indispensable duty in safeguarding transparency and elevating citizens' perspectives. #Media

[Nubian Rights Forum @NubianRights]

Brothers & sisters in the struggle take time to watch this powerful documentary by Africa Uncensored: Lost in the System: Identity and Data Under Attack. It exposes how Kenya's celebrated digital ID ecosystem continues to lock out marginalized Nubians, denying us full citizenship, access to services, and our rightful place in the nation we've called home for generations.Knowledge is power. Watch, share, and let's amplify the Nubian voices against exclusion!

Listen to activist Hashim Elmoge from Wajir as he breaks down the ingrained system of negotiated democracy and its sweeping consequences for fair elections and effective governance

[𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐍𝐄𝐓 @ParanetRight]

Community reflection in action: PARANET's high-level workshop in Wajir interrogated how negotiated democracy continues to prioritize clan loyalty over individual competence — weakening public services and eroding trust in leadership. The call for change is growing louder.

One year after the decree that abolished vetting, we’re concern that vetting reforms have only largely ‘benefitted’ new applicants while citizens prevented from applying before disbanding vetting committees have no improved process of re-applying for ID.

Today Adan Ibrahim paid us a visit alongside his father. A 1997 mishap—dropping his waiting card into a well while grazing in Bula Elbe, Wajir—led to decades of exclusion under extra vetting. Now 47 and still without an ID, his case highlights persistent gaps post-2025 abolition.

[𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐍𝐄𝐓 @ParanetRight]

“Abolishing vetting was an important first step... but it did not remedy the historical legacy of this injustice.” One year later, millions still carry expired waiting cards or have none at all. The fight for equal citizenship continues. #CitizenshipForAll #myidmyright

Powerful message from Wajir elders:

"High birth certificate application fees and lack of enough registeration offices deny children basic documentation. Without it, no school, no healthcare access, no future rights. Their demand — scrap the fees and establish enough offices."
