Birth certificates can now be downloaded and printed online, marking a major milestone in the government's efforts to digitise public services and improve access to essential documents.
This emerged during a strategic consultative meeting chaired by Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen with the leadership of the State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services.
Murkomen said the move was informed by concerns raised by citizens during the government's Jukwaa la Usalama public engagement forums, where many Kenyans cited delays and bureaucratic hurdles in obtaining critical documents.
