KTN News aired footage on June 14 alleging that Somali and
Ethiopian nationals buy Kenyan national IDs and passports for as little as KSh
15,000 right in government offices, allowing them to vote, work, and access
services.
The report ties into
heated debates over Eastleigh's cash-only economy, where journalist Lynn Ngugi
accused Somali traders of dodging taxes while locals face raids for
counterfeits, prompting politician Alinur Mohamed to defend their business
contributions.
With 2027 elections approaching, concerns grow over national
security, fraud, and fair enforcement amid no official response yet.
