The #HudumaNamba Case Appeal: A Thread 

In January, the High Court stopped the implementation of #NIIMS

The government can only move on #HudumaNamba *after* a comprehensive regulatory framework is in place to address exclusion & data privacy Image
The court was clear: even processing and using the data collected needed the regulatory framework first

It's not yet in place

(Yet PS Kibicho said millions of #HudumaNamba records have been cleaned & matched - a clear violation) Image
The #HudumaNamba judgement highlights risks to #privacy, data protection, and inclusion & struck out use of DNA & GPS - a significant win for the rights of all Kenyans

But other aspects of the judgement must be challenged to ensure stronger #humanrights protections

Back to court for day 2 of the hearings in the #HudumaNamba case

Today's proceedings are starting

Follow us @NubianRights and @Haki_na_Sheria for updates all week Image
Cross-examination of @iam_anandv, the second witness for the petitioners, will continue now
The witness reiterates that there is almost no publicly available technical information about #NIIMS or #HudumaNamba, but by looking at the technological purpose that govt has repeatedly stated, the architecture can be understood
