Extract:
All the historical injustices and discrimination faced by the Nubian Community as to registration documents like the birth certificates and identity cards have alienated them from any socioeconomic empowerment and left them in a state of statelessness.
The Nubian community has suffered immense discrimination over the years as to their identity as they have always found it challenging when it comes to issues of applying for their identity cards as they are forced to undergo a verification process which other Kenyans do not undergo making it discriminatory.
The discrimination has far reaching consequences as the lack of citizenship documents and their rights to the land tenure they occupy has caused the community to live in abject poverty as the lack of identification documents prevents them from accessing any form of employment and the lack of a secure land tenure prevents them from and social and development progress in life hence making them live in slums like Kibra in Nairobi.
