Ruto says his gov't is addressing historical injustices, calls on Kenyans to register as voters

The President, who spoke in Mandera Stadium in the company of leaders from the region, urged locals to register for identification cards to access government services, saying the scrapping of vetting had removed bureaucratic red tape which sidelined many Kenyans living along the country's borders. 

"Wakati mimi nimeondoa masharti ya vetting, bado tukona wananchi wengi ambao hawajapata nafasi ya kujiandikisha na kuoata kitambulisho. Ile ambayo tayari imeandikishwa Nairobi ni kidogo, hiyo nitafanya," Ruto stated. 

"Ile kazi ya muhimu zaidi ni kuhakikisha ambao wale ambao hawajapata kitambulisho, tunataka wapate nafasi pia. Hatutaki ubaguzi wa zamani ya masharti."
