Are you a resident of Kisumu County, over 18 years but without an Identity Card?
Be warned that anytime you will be arrested.
The office of the County Commissioner has resolved that adults in Kisumu without ID cards be arrested and tasked to explain why they have not acquired the document.
County Commissioner Mohamed Maalim on Wednesday said it is a requirement by the government that every citizen acquires an ID.
"If you are cornered without an ID then the best thing is to make you a guest of the state," he said.
He spoke as he launched a Committee that will coordinate the issuance of ID cards and registration of birth and death certificates in the lakeside county.
He said many adult residents in the county have no ID cards and that even those who have already applied for and the documents ready have not collected.
More than 11,728 ID cards, 2,000 birth certificates and 400 death certificates are yet to be collected in various registration centres in the county.
