Dear Listers,

In February 2022,  Kenya's Parliament held public hearings on the  2021 amendment of the Huduma Bill. Where are we in this discourse?

KICTANet was not left behind in representing views from all the sectors. We submitted a memorandum on The Huduma Bill 2021 as part of a coalition of Kenyan civil society organisations with expertise in issues of identification, civil registration, nationality rights, data protection and privacy, minority rights, children’s rights, human rights, and other related issues.

Subsequently, our Policy Brief No.5, August 2020 by Prof. Sylvia Kang’ara "Digital Identification Law in Kenya: The State of Play". The brief makes a number of recommendations, chief among them being the need to take into account and ensure compliance with the directives of the High Court.   https://bit.ly/3KJvUMa
