    Checking the status of id and passport online is good and helps alot.but your links is not available most of the time.please improve on that,thank u.

  • bashir

    the link to id status is not responding now days please we have suffered alot improve

  • Abdi

    This is a good initiative by the goverment but the problem is most of the time the site is unavailable thus hampering the tracking efforts of individual kenyans

  • abdul

    please help citizens to get there id faster for them to gain acsess to other things

  • Benjy

    For over six months Kenyans are suffering due to unnecesary delayance of IDs! What is going on? can someone please shade some light? Are we still living in the dark Nyayo days? please release our identity cards.

  • Mwananchi Mwema

    There is complete lack of accountability in the ministry this being clearly evidenced by the fact that the links to check status for your ID are always dead, I even wonder why the fuck they’ve put them there.The problem is tht a senior govt official is blocking the issuance of the tender for printing third generation IDs for personal reasons. How can one perosn hold over 800,000 people ransom yet I think there is the rule of the law with the promulgation of the new constitution? Let that person be punished for causing frustration to a million Kenyans, he’s now publicly known and has even been indicted in Ocampo’s list

  • Ong’angi Otundo

    Most of the applicants does not get their ids as they are detailed on the particulars. Some mistake are done on typing, when the applicant goes for corrections and changes it good years without having the id she/he had applied for.
    I like to remind you this, if you were the one whose particulars have been change how could you fill? Today is me, tomorrow is you, shall you expect somebody to serve you better if you did not do your best when were in position.Take care tomorrow is unknown, thank you.
