The government has commenced generation nd issuance of Huduma Namba cards and electronic Identity Cards.
This is after the High Court on January 30 agreed to the roll-out of the National Integrated Identification Management System in favour of the government.
The schedule for the roll out of the process is set to be announced later.
A three-judge bench ruled on Thursday that Huduma Namba is lawful.
The justices did, however, note that the collection of DNA and GPS data were not only unconstitutional but also intrusive and unnecessary.
In a statement on Friday, Spokesman Cyrus Oguna said the ruling allows the generation of Huduma Namba to eligible Kenyans who registered.
Oguna said they will give Scheduled dates for the collection and issuance of the cards.
In February last year, a petition was filed challenging the implementation of NIMS barring the government from proceeding with the generation of e-ID.
The case was filed by the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), the Nubian Rights Forum and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNHCR).
They questioned the implementation of a digital platform that will digitise and centralise records of vital life events of citizens and foreigners in Kenya.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
