President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday issued a directive that all eligible stateless Makonde people be issued with national identity cards by December.

This follows the seventh ordinary cabinet meeting that held at State House that approved the registration and issuance of citizenship to the Makonde people of the Coast region.

The President further ordered responsible government departments to ensure the members of the community are issued with title deeds for their land.
