The Government has initiated plans to develop a detailed National Database that will entail personal information of all Kenyans and registered foreigners that are residing in the country.

It has been revealed that at least 30,000 clerks will be engaged in the processes of creating the database with the main focus being on biometric listing on the National Integrated Identity Management System.

The management system will be able to generate sets of unique identification numbers for individuals. The identification numbers will be referred to as Huduma Namba.

The unique Huduma Namba will be used by Kenyans to access government services. They will also be easily traceable by the government and its agencies. One objective of the team is to ensure the protection, preservation, and security of the valuable and sensitive information that will help in fostering security in the country.

The formation of the database also implies the establishment of a new registration system for the Kenyan people, which will collect and maintain all data about persons the government deems important. Read more via Kenyans
