”Just like the rest of Kenyans, the youth of Northern Kenya must get an equal opportunity when it comes to access to crucial government documents such as National IDs and passports. They are not second-tier citizens,” Ngugi IG wrote on his Facebook page.

”When we were ejected from Kuresoi, Molo, with my entire family, at the height of the 2007/8 post-election violence, forcing us to seek refuge kilometers away in Nyandarua, I was a mere teenager still trying to learn the basic ways of this life. We had lived with our neighbours quite peacefully for years, co~existing in the most harmonious way possible,” he wrote.
