Dear Listers,

"If it has not reached you", the Government plans to digitise over 5,000 government services. This was the genesis of the Huduma Namba revival discourse. The Huduma Namba was introduced in 2019 but the court halted its rollout due to inadequate public participation and issues to do with its compliance to Personal Data Protection Act.

Here is what the ICT CS Eliud Owalo said about it:  https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/local/ict-cs-eliud-owalo-explains-why-huduma-namba-failed/7qtxt4s

As its re-emergence happens, KICTANet has done work around the subject on Huduma Namba which include: 

  1. “Implementing #HudumaNamba: Challenges and Prospects” whose findings recommend measures that can safeguard compliance with data protection principles and respect for human rights in the use of huduma Namba in Kenya.  https://bit.ly/31KzCkx (download)
  2. Huduma Namba Documentary now available on KICTANET’s Youtube channel. https://bit.ly/31PnZsu 
Your thoughts are welcome on this.
