Listers, This is indeed good news. We have a lot of hope in Mucheru and Victor Kyalo industry veterans who have indeed worked their way through the trenches. Most importantly we hope to see the return of a multi stakeholder form of engagement in the sector which we have been yearning for in a while. I think as a sector we might need to prepare a wish list for our new leaders and most importantly commit to work with them towards achieving their mandate. The reshuffle is timely still it comes at the end of the year and will allow us to start 2016 on a new slate.

Petition Filed to Challenge Maisha Namba, Kenya's New ID System
by David Indeje 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

Dear Listers, A petition has been filed at the High Court of Kenya, seeking to stop the implementation of the Maisha Namba Digital Identity Ecosystem, a new system of identification for Kenyan citizens. The petition, filed on December 20, 2023, under the case number HCCHRPET/E524/2023, claims that the Maisha Namba system does not address the flaws of the previous National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS), also known as Huduma Namba, which was declared unconstitutional by the High Court in April 2021.
