The Usajili Mashinani programme is advancing the Government’s inclusion agenda by bringing National ID registration services directly to remote and pastoralist communities. Led by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, the initiative targets populations that have long faced barriers due to distance, high travel costs, and limited access to registration offices.
Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen described the programme as a corrective measure to end marginalisation and exclusion from citizenship rights and government services. Through a 10-day door-to-door and ward-level registration drive, mobile teams equipped with portable, battery-powered live capture machines collect data on-site for real-time processing. In West Pokot, 14 vehicles and 91 machines were deployed to reach far-flung areas. The Government has also scrapped the Sh300 application fee. Officials say the initiative restores dignity, visibility and access to essential services such as banking, healthcare, social protection and government support programmes.
