From what I hear, they will be collecting a lot of data i.e. DNA, retina scan, ear print for this ID. IF this is true that they want to gather this information, why can't they combine it in the National ID we already have? Also, where is this data being stored?

Your national ID will also be included. But as you are aware there's too much ukora in the issuance of IDs so this should work well as a KEY ID while your passport, National ID DL serve as secondary IDs.

Now since this will be done mashinani....will it be like those days when Jesus was born?

LOL

I like the initiative.
But wouldn't it have been better to consolidate all docs (nhif nssf id dl pp etc) into one huduma thing.
You only need to search ones full details using the digits on one of the cards.

But again this is the same govt which cannot afford to pay ISPs.
So expect services to be down for weeks once it kicks off and us going back to norm.
If we want to go digital then we must heavily invest in IT as a country.

Government should be its own ISP. What is lacking?

Jubilee has called for New Passport (total chaos and corruption ongoing there), New digital DL, New digtial ID.. eCitizen, KRA Online portal, Digital Land registries... These are all good by the way if well linked to a central secure server..


But hii ya sijui nini...Hii ni tender mtu anapewa.... It is of absolutely no value to the Mwananchi.

Will this ID replace the existing one? What will be the point of having this and a digital driving license at the same time? A driver's license ID should be sufficient instead of duplicating.
I think they should change the rules so the youth take driving tests at 17yrs, get a provisional license/ID to be exchange for a DL ID at 18yrs. The people who don't want to be drivers can get the other ID.

Anyway, wacha watu watafutiwe kwa kukula Kenyan style.

BBI will solve it

I just don't feel this Huduma ID. It doesn't sound practical. Plus, I'm not very comfortable with giving the govt. all that information.

Huduma id is the new cash cow as we prepare for 2022. Totally useless project, but money will be spent before it goes into hibernation. This country is run by criminals. Shida ni one cannot be sure whether lack of performance, lack of ideas and inability to follow through on simple matters is genetic or phombe induced. Anyway kumira kumira. Meanwhile tunatafuta eurobond nyingine! Na watchies will now have guns, Mungu saidia. If the cops themselves are using guns to commit crimes, despite rigorous training and indoctrination, sembuse watchie.
