A furious Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has read the riot act to inefficient clerks processing birth certificates in Narok.
He was shocked, after an impromptu tour of their offices, that there was a backlog dating back to April last year yet they had the luxury of enjoying long lunch breaks.
“The delaying approach by these officers in acquiring the important document was to lure the residents to bribe them in order to be serviced which is against the law.” he said.
Here are Kenyans asking Matiangi to do something about other counties where the problem persists:
