Nairobi; Kenya: There are hundreds of lost national identification cards lying around the country. We don’t have a central ‘lost and found’ location where their owners can visit to collect them. Instead, they go to the police station for an abstract and straight to the Immigration ministry (or Huduma Centre these days) to apply for new ones. Meanwhile, there are some crooks using their identity cards to commit criminal activities including forging of documents.
