Birth Certificates Crisis

The Government has extended the deadline for submission of birth certificates for purposes of exam registration from the 31st of March to the 30th of June this year. This is as a result of an emergency meeting called by Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, involving the Ministry of Education, the Kenya National Examination Council, the immigrations office and the registrar of births and deaths, to try to find a solution to the crisis in Government registration offices countrywide. Thousands of parents have lately jammed the offices of registration of births and deaths in a last minute rush to secure certificates for their children following a Government directive that all candidates present the document before they are registered.
