The government can only move on #HudumaNamba *after* a comprehensive regulatory framework is in place to address exclusion & data privacy
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

It's not yet in place

While we can only work within the vicinity of #kibera we implore stakeholders to create more awareness on the processes and the penalties, because a majority of Kenyans are still not aware of them.

"justice should not be delayed" "the purposes of this constitution should be protected." Court gave respondents directions as to the hearing. They expected respondents to issue their witnesses.
