Gov't Says Kenyans Without Huduma Namba Will Be Denied IDs, Passports

The government has announced that Kenyans who will not be registered in the National Integrated Identity Management Systems (NIIMS) will be denied crucial government services.

Addressing journalists on Thursday, Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho says those who aren't registered under the new system will not be able to obtain IDs, passports, driving licenses, birth certificates, and other crucial documents.

Through NIIMS, the government will capture data of Kenyans from the age of six in a bid to create and manage a central master population register that will be the authentic source of truth of the identity of all persons residing in Kenya, including foreigners.

Kenyans registered under NIIMS will be issued with a unique number known as a "Huduma Namba."

The pilot registration for NIIMS will be done in February and March 2019 and will be coordinated by respective County Commissioners.

Registration will be conducted at homes, mobile registration centers and institutions such as hospitals, prisons, and schools between 6 am and 6 pm, including weekends 
and public holidays.

To register, one is required to submit their identification documents and be physically present during the registration exercise.

The pilot will be done in 15 counties including Nairobi, Uasin Gishu, Kajiado, Baringo, Marsabit, Embu, Makueni, Busia, Nyandarua, Kiambu, Kilifi and Tana River.

Diana, talking of secession, No one forces you to remain Kenyan, You can move permanently to Somalia, Ethiopia or even Tanzania or wherever you feel more comfortable and leave those happy to be Kenyans alone. But not even an inch of Kenyan land will be surrendered to your foreign masters

I sure do hope you are right! However Kenya is still marred with systemic corruption, just like before, Somalis will continue to buy their way out. In 1980's Eastleigh was free from Somalis, right now, almost every building and businesses are owned by " Kenyan" somalis.

The Kenyan government cannot be trusted.

Therefore,
Kenyans need to reduce their contact with the Kenya government as much as possible. Live off the Kenya government grid.

The only thing Kenyans need from kenya government is birth certificate , National ID, title deed —->> kenya passport if you are traveling outside Kenya.

👆🏽👆🏽Bottom line is those documents are not necessary to exist on earth.
Keep off the Kenya government.These are corrupt and unapologetic criminals working there.

Minimize any contact with the Kenya government officials and their offices.

The Kenya government cannot be trusted.

Usipime mwanauume.

The Kenya government is the biggest terrorists organization in East Africa.

They are the ones facilitating criminals in Kenya , Sudan and Somalia. Financing criminal groups like Al shabab, giving them multiple number plates and national ID’s.

The kenya government supports corruption and terrorism.

Kenya government cannot be trusted.

I hope we don't get another government idiot and sellout like the late Kajwang who sold our IDs and passports to the highest biidder amongst Indians and Somalis, etc who wanted to be Kenyans. They are now citizens. Government is the same problem it is trying to solve, at times.
