President Uhuru Kenyatta announced the landmark decision on Saturday during celebrations marking Kenya’s 57 th Jamhuri Day. “This is a life-changing development for thousands of people. We applaud the Government of Kenya’s decision to grant them citizenship, ensuring that they are fully included in society. This will also set a precedent for other countries to follow when it comes to resolving longstanding statelessness,” said Fathiaa Abdalla, UNHCR’s Representative in Kenya.
