.@AmnestyKenya @thekhrc The government is determined to profit our data by hook or crook. HELB and @CUE_Kenya have made a deal with banks to require smart cards of university students that are also ATM and swipe cards. Biometric data will soon be part of the deal #hudumanamba
Enslaving university and college students to debt is a sweet deal for businesses because this is an educated population which is likely to earn a higher income. It also eases GoK surveillance of educated citizens @AmnestyKenya @thekhrc
The HELB smart card is government blackmail. Instead or providing education as a human right, GoK is making education conditional on people being entered into a database that companies have access to @thekhrc @AmnestyKenya #hudumanamba
Concerned about #hudumanamba, ID questions in #censuskenya2019 #census2019, & #WajirCensusFraud?

@AmnestyKenya @RasnaWarah @WanjeriNderu @Haki_na_Sheria @HakiCentre @thekhrc @HakiKNCHR @lawyershubkenya @DavidNdii @InformAction_KE The #HudumaBill2019 would provide the legal basis for #NIIMS and #HudumaNamba - and proposes to fundamentally re-structure the registration and identification systems in #Kenya & how data on all residents of Kenya is collected, stored, and used

Before #hudumanamba, I would have agreed with having one database with all of one's information. To save yourself the trouble of reproducing the same data at different places.
But wakenya, it is isphilosophically bad and fundmametally inhuman #HudumaBill2019 #ResistHudumaNamba

First, it is not our job to make GoK's work easier. It is the job of different agencies to liase with each other about what they are doing. But instead of that, they are branding HUMAN BEINGS with 666 at birth till death. #resisthudumanamba
Did you know litigation on #HudumaNamba is still ongoing, with interim court orders in place even as the draft #HudumaBill2019 has been released?
