Mr Onyango appealed to the Government to facilitate the issuance of IDs to foreign women married in the county. Several Tanzanian women are married in the county owing the county owing to its proximity to Tanzania. Mathew Njoroge, however, said he does not think the process of acquiring IDs for foreign women married in the country was difficult. Provincial and Registration of Persons officials said the women must get registration certificates first before qualifying for citizenship. "We've turned away several foreign women from various countries married in the region due to lack of registration certificates," said County Registrar Jacob Mwakaba.
