Interior CS, Dr. Fred Matiang’i will launch the distribution of the Huduma Namba cards at the County Commissioner’s offices in Kiambu on Wednesday.
During Mashujaa Day, President Uhuru Kenyatta and the first lady became the first recipients of the card. Matiang’i will be accompanied by Kiambu Governor James Nyoro and Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi. A similar exercise will be led by ICT CS, Joe Mucheru, at the Machakos Golf Club.
Since 2005 the Government of Kenya (GoK) has initiated registration of persons in the country using a harmonized approach to address duplication of efforts and to cut costs in registration processes.
This started with the consolidation of data from primary population registration agencies. The purpose of this initiative is to create and manage a central master population database which will be the ‘single source of truth’ on a person’s identity.
The database will contain information of all Kenyan citizens and foreign nationals residing in Kenya and will serve as a reference point for ease of service delivery to the people of Kenya.
