Getting a National ID, the universal Kenyan rite of passage, has just been tapped as a money-earner by the Kenya Kwanza government. According to a (revoked after public outcry) error-filled Gazette Notice signed by Prof. Kithure Kindiki, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, the State Department for Immigration and Citizenship Services intended to charge Kenyans who have turned 18, KSh 1,000 for a national identity (ID) card (now reversed downwards to KSh 300).

It is a Friday afternoon and we are parking our bags on the roof rack of a tour bus outside The Heron Hotel in Milimani, preparing to go spend the weekend in the bush like proper tourists sans the ‘Hakuna Matata’ t-shirts and tan Safari boots. I am excited because we are leaving the city and its maddening traffic and noise. Much as I love to stay in Nairobi for the work and business opportunities it presents, I know that it is not the friendliest city to live in.

As a young woman, being able to go out (at night) without needing permission from my parents was one coming-of-age privilege I deeply longed for. And so when the time came for me to explore nightlife, I relished in the freedom that came with it. Luckily for me, I am the youngest of all my female maternal cousins, with a nine year age gap between myself and the sister I follow. Naturally, this guaranteed lots of great advice when I started clubbing.

Over the last many months, my two good friends, businessman and presidential aspirant Jimi Wanjigi and Busia Senator Okiya Okoiti Omtatah have variously made claims that Kenya’s domestic debt is illegal, odious and should not be repaid. This is big. Wanjigi and Omtatah argue that Kenyans should declare the domestic debt unenforceable because the debt doesn’t comply with the law that requires government to borrow only to finance specified development projects.
