He said it’s wrong for Kenyans to be forced to pay for documents showing they are Kenyans.

“They want you to pay for an ID to show that you’re a Kenyan.How can you be asked to pay when your father and mother are Kenyans,” asked Raila.

Odinga also said that the Kenya Kwanza administration has lost track by asking Kenyans to pay for the vital documents.
