Concerned about #hudumanamba, ID questions in #censuskenya2019 #census2019, & #WajirCensusFraud?

Read the draft #HudumaBill2019 - moving soon to Parliament

The rights of all Kenyans are at stake

@AmnestyKenya @RasnaWarah @WanjeriNderu @Haki_na_Sheria @HakiCentre @thekhrc @HakiKNCHR @lawyershubkenya @DavidNdii @InformAction_KE You can find the text of the #HudumaBill2019 on the #HudumaNamba website

The public participation period under the Ministry of Interior has concluded, but when the bill is considered in Parliament you can have your say

@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

@AmnestyKenya @RasnaWarah @WanjeriNderu @Haki_na_Sheria @HakiCentre @thekhrc @HakiKNCHR @lawyershubkenya @DavidNdii @InformAction_KE The #HudumaBill2019 proposes to replace #Kenya’s national ID card with a Huduma card and #HudumaNamba - but does not address what the transition period, if any, might look like

@AmnestyKenya @RasnaWarah @WanjeriNderu @Haki_na_Sheria @HakiCentre @thekhrc @HakiKNCHR @lawyershubkenya @DavidNdii @InformAction_KE @UNICEFKenya @PlanKenya @UNHCR_Kenya @WanjaMunaita @CREAWKenya @MUHURIkenya @thisisotherwise @GoodID The #HudumaBill2019 proposes “documentary proof of identification” as a requirement for #HudumaNamba registration - potentially locking out millions of Kenyans who lack documents due to ethnic & religious-based discrimination in their attempts to acquire ID cards and birth certs

@AmnestyKenya @RasnaWarah @WanjeriNderu @Haki_na_Sheria @HakiCentre @thekhrc @HakiKNCHR @lawyershubkenya @DavidNdii @InformAction_KE @UNICEFKenya @PlanKenya @UNHCR_Kenya @WanjaMunaita @CREAWKenya @MUHURIkenya @thisisotherwise @GoodID @CEMIRIDE_KE @GlobalNamati @article19eafric @OSFJustice We already saw people who lacked ID cards turned away from #HudumaNamba registration in practice in #Kibra during the mass registration in April/May 2019

#HudumaBill2019 ignores challenges of #inclusion, which should be addressed before #NIIMS becomes operational

@AmnestyKenya @RasnaWarah @WanjeriNderu @Haki_na_Sheria @HakiCentre @thekhrc @HakiKNCHR @lawyershubkenya @DavidNdii @InformAction_KE @UNICEFKenya @PlanKenya @UNHCR_Kenya @WanjaMunaita @CREAWKenya @MUHURIkenya @thisisotherwise @GoodID @CEMIRIDE_KE @GlobalNamati @article19eafric @OSFJustice Mop-up registration exercises for birth certificates and ID cards are an important step, but not enough to address long-standing #discrimination that has left some Kenyans struggling for documents for *decades*

The key phrase is "or other such biological attributes"

@AmnestyKenya @RasnaWarah @WanjeriNderu @Haki_na_Sheria @HakiCentre @thekhrc @HakiKNCHR @lawyershubkenya @DavidNdii @InformAction_KE @UNICEFKenya @PlanKenya @UNHCR_Kenya @WanjaMunaita @CREAWKenya @MUHURIkenya @thisisotherwise @GoodID @CEMIRIDE_KE @GlobalNamati @article19eafric @OSFJustice @maxbearak @Asmali77 @kedolwa_waziri @katibainstitute @institute_si @OpenSocietyEA @voicetweetz @TEACHERSinKENYA @KancoKE @Amref_Worldwide @Amref_Kenya @KEeducationfund @KenyaEditors @Edunnews1 @StrathCIPIT @BiometricUpdate @privacyint @KenyaPrivacy @accessnow @Abel_lawrab Yet the #HudumaBill2019 puts little responsibility on government to prevent or act on data breaches. In case of unauthorized access of your #HudumaNamba-related data, the PS only has to *notify* you - so that YOU can take protective measures
