    "content": "This policy has been there to protect our national security. In areas where there are more threats, then this is minimised through the registration of our citizens. However, we have come up with a modality of ensuring that all critical documents from passports, birth certificates to identification cards must be supplied within 21 days irrespective of where the applicants come from. Where possible, they should come out in three, seven or ten days. However, no Kenyan should wait for six months or a year or two to get an ID card or a passport simply because they come from a certain part of the country. Therefore, within the next three months, the policy of vetting in all citizen registration services will be abolished and replaced with a new way of ensuring that all registration documents are achieved by all Kenyans within a maximum of 21 days. I was in Moyale and I came across Kenyan youths who had been waiting for IDs for three years and two months; about 10 young people from Moyale. They applied when they were 18 years old and now they are 21 years old. They are still waiting. Why? Vetting. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) and other institutions are still verifying certain things. This is unacceptable and we are going to abolish that."
