Kenya Kwanza government will commence the process to confer citizenship to the Pemba Community. The 7,000 community members have been living in Kenya for decades with no document to prove their citizenship. “The government has commenced the process to confer citizenship to the Pemba people living in Kilifi,” he said. MPs and rights organisations are pushing for the recognition of the stateless Pemba community. Early this year, the National Assembly adopted a report by the National Security and Administration Committee to grant Pemba citizenship.
