Drama ensued at Narok North births and deaths registration office as Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i stormed the offices threatening to fire the employees after he found long queues of locals waiting for birth certificates.
He said: “Some officers are reducing Kenyans to slaves. Somebody keep referring those seeking birth certificates to come the following day only to demand bribes to speed up issuance of the public document. This madness should stop.”
The CS directed County Commissioner Mr. Natembeya to do a follow up on the progress at the office, saying there were 20,000 birth certificates that are yet to be collected at the office.“As civil servants, let’s dedicate our time to serving the people. How can we enslave our people because of your incompetence? This will not be entertained. Even if it will be sacking I will sack you and I will not care,” said Dr. Matiang’i.
