🚨Clarification: We are not calling for ‘enforcement of vetting.’

Our call is clear: we are urging the government to enforce an end to the discriminatory practice of ID vetting that denies millions of citizens their rights to nationality. #IDDay #MyIDMyRight
@StandardKenya

[MyIDMyRight @myidmyright]

For millions of Kenyans, mainly from majority Muslim communities and other minority ethnic groups, the promise to end ID vetting remains only on paper. #IDDay

In practice the new structure for ID applications, that applies to only some sections of Kenyans, still creates excessive demands on applicants while also retaining the unchecked power of officials mainly chiefs - to determine whether an applicant gets an ID, even when the applicant provides government-issued supporting documents as part of their application.

Join us at the ongoing Nubian Rights Forum event in Karanja, Kibra, as we raise awareness on legal identity this ID Day! We're bringing essential services right to the grassroots, with Huduma Center on-site to assist residents.

[Namati Kenya @NamatiKenya]

On this national #IDDay, we’re reminded that the struggle to access ID cards is still a reality for millions of Kenyan citizens.

The time to remedy this is now! #MyIDMyRight #IDDay

No ID, no access. Pastoralists are denied basic rights without identification. This #IDDay, we call for equitable ID access to empower pastoralist communities. Stand for justice! #MyIDMyRight

[makkah yusuf @makkahyusuf1]

Costly hurdles like exorbitant fees for obtaining legal document place a burden on already poor families, preventing them from securing basic rights. We're advocating for free or subsidized access to documentations making it free for all under SDG 16.9

[Haki Centre @HakiCentre]

A national ID card is key to education, healthcare, banking, and employment. Denying IDs is denying livelihood. This injustice must end. #MyIDMyRight #IDDay #IdentityForAll

[MyIDMyRight @myidmyright]

The barriers blocking 1 in 10 Kenyan citizens from accessing IDs are known: ID vetting, high fees, corrupt officials & inaccessible registration centers.

On #IDDay, we call for the elimination of these barriers. #MyIDMyRight #IDDay

[MyIDMyRight @myidmyright]

Vetting has ended on paper, but it lingers in practice.

New ID processes still retain inconsistent, arbitrary & discriminatory practices across the country.

The government must enforce fair & consistent processes to ensure every Kenyan can claim their identity. #MyIDMyRight #IDDay

[MyIDMyRight @myidmyright]

In Kenya, about 5 million people - primarily from Muslim-majority communities - have been forced to go through intrusive security screenings, excessive documentation requirements, and unreasonable delays when applying for essential identity documents. #MyIDMyRight #IDDay

Initiative in citizenship, civil registration, and legal empowerment to ensure informed and responsible reporting.
The training is also to promote in-depth reporting on issues affecting vulnerable communities to highlight gaps, successes, and areas needing attention.

platform to share where support and collaboration are most needed to ensure access to rightful documentation for all.
We were honored to have our partners, Nubian Rights Forum and Namati, join us in this important conversation.

[Human Rights Agenda (HURIA) @Huria_KE]

From silence to strength: HURIA & @Haki_na_Sheria backed by @amnestynl amplify Kwale, Lamu, & Garissa voices. Documented abuses, pushed legal reforms, trained #HRDs, built alliances, & laid groundwork for change.

The road’s long, but we’re ending #EndImpunity

[Haki na Sheria @Haki_na_Sheria]

Communities aren't fully informed about the use of digital ID and platforms like ecitizen and their rights to legal identification, leading to generations without proper documentation.

Barrier Alert: Discrimination continues to hinder minority communities from accessing essential birth certificates and legal documents. On #IDDay2025, let's challenge these systemic biases in legal frameworks.#MyIDMyRight

[Haki na Sheria @Haki_na_Sheria]

Online registration platforms exclude those in communities without reliable internet or tech access, widening inequalities.We urge inclusive, offline alternatives for SDG 16.9. Let's work together to bridge this gap and ensure everyone can participate! #MyIDMyRight #IDDay2025

[Namati Kenya @NamatiKenya]

Kenya committed to #SDG169; legal identity for all. Yet, it implements prohibitive practices including ID vetting, corruption & administrative barriers that undermine this pledge. On this #IDDay we call on the government to align its practices with its pledge. #MyIDMyRight #IDDay

[@fauziah @faobabez]

Just as an umbrella protects us from some elements,legal identity offers security,dignity and access to rights and services.

Happy International Identity Day.
