For years, border communities, particularly in the North Eastern counties, have faced systemic challenges in acquiring national identification documents.
The vetting process, marred by excessive scrutiny and additional documentation demands, has delayed access and fostered discrimination, undermining the fundamental rights of these Kenyans.
In a historic and unifying decision, H.E. President @WilliamsRuto has today officially abolished the vetting process for individuals seeking identification documents in these regions.
This long-overdue reform is a victory for inclusivity and national cohesion, ensuring that every Kenyan, regardless of their place of birth, enjoys equal access to citizenship rights without unnecessary barriers.
This landmark move is widely celebrated, particularly among marginalized border communities, where generations have struggled with documentation challenges that have limited their opportunities in education, employment and economic participation.
By removing this systemic hurdle, the President has restored the dignity of the disenfranchised and reaffirmed his commitment to a just and equitable society where every Kenyan can fully partake in the nation's development.
This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies. The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians. Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did! The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that “WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!”
(video) Today, government officials visited the #Puntland Counter-Terrorism Forces to offer encouragement and moral support, especially to the units stationed in the eastern mountains of #Bosaso.

Congratulations to the brave men and women of the Puntland Armed Forces.
Early this morning, our forces decisively thwarted a cowardly ambush by ISIS cowards in the mountains, sending a clear message to those who seek to undermine our peace and security. This victory is a testament to the strength and resolve of our military, whose sacrifices ensure that the prosperity, security, and progress we enjoy today are possible.
Without the unwavering guardianship of the Puntland Armed Forces, none of this our security, our education system, or our continued advancement would be achievable. We are proud to see our people and security personnel standing united, step by step, to eliminate any threats to this magnificent land.
Glory to Puntland, Glory to the Puntland Army. #PuntlandFirst
