Good morning: I tried to run you PID but it came up as not found, I also ran the name you gave and it came up no information found. I am not sure if this is an issue today with FamilySearch or something else. Can you double check the PID you provided? Also what is the time frame for Jeremiah Njenga Kirigwi , it matters where you look for any research in Kenya.

I would start searching for any civil records in Kenya by going to the FamilySearch Wike page for Kenya Civil Registrations. It again depends on the years involved.

"Registration of births and deaths was introduced for the first time in Kenya in 1904 and applied only to Europeans and Americans. In 1928 the current act CAP 149 was enacted. This act only provided for the compulsory registration of the deaths of Africans but not for their births. After independence in 1963, compulsory registration of all births and deaths was extended in phases to other areas beginning with Nairobi and Nyeri on 1 st March 1963. On 1 st September 1971 it became compulsory to register all births and deaths occurring in Kenya

There is on line search for Civil Registrations at CRS
