This week the #HudumaBill2021 is in Parliament for its 2nd reading

The Bill is proposing the largest changes to Kenya’s ID system since independence. What exactly does that mean for you?

Huduma Bill 2021: A Thread 🧵
@MzalendoWatch @KaranjaMatindi @David1Mutai @thekhrc @MyKenyaLaw @klrcKE @nisisikenya @TheYouthCafe @Haki_na_Sheria @Olez #HudumaBill2021 would become the single law supporting the issuance of birth certificates, ID cards, passports, and death certificates - as well as Huduma Namba

The existing laws for these processes would all be repealed
@MzalendoWatch @KaranjaMatindi @David1Mutai @thekhrc @MyKenyaLaw @klrcKE @nisisikenya @TheYouthCafe @Haki_na_Sheria @Olez @HonMwathi @KenyaSDGMPs @ActionsdgsKenya @PPGKenya @JMokku @SakajaJohnson @KICTANet @article19org @IqraFM @PamojaFMradio The #HudumaBill2021 has an extremely broad definition of #biometric data

If the bill passes, any of this data could be collected legally as part of #HudumaNamba registration – now or in the future

To open our discussion;

What is Huduma Namba?
Where does the system stand now?
@HeraldingDevel2 @GlobalNamati @Haki_na_Sheria @thekhrc @HakiCentre

#Hudumanambachat #HudumanambaChat
Question 2:

What is the status of those who couldnt register either willingly, or due to lack of documentation?

#Hudumanambachat
Question 3:
With centralization and digitalization of personal identification data, what safeguards will make you comfortable with Huduma Namba

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

Currently on going: community forum in Kisii
The quest for awareness creation on citizenship and governance continues while respecting government stipulated #COVID19 guidelines
#Governance #governanceke Image
Challenges faced by community members in Kisii
1- To get ID cards the community has to reach a quorum of 10 applicants. A challenging number to hit due to their small population. It can take up to a year or two to reach the quorum.
2- Marriage certificate issuance is also an issue since the community does not have a Kadhi's court in kisii. They are forced to travel to homabay to get these services

Leaving in Kenya without an ID card is as good as a death sentence.
Watch our documentary below on the issue of issuance of ID cards to persons at risk of statelessness

@InteriorKE #HudumaNamba
An individual must present an I.D whenever requesting social services or making transactions.
Lack of ID limits the ability of youth to make a living within and outside the country
Our documentary highlights challenges the nubian community faces following the inconsiderate process of attaining fundamental national documents

Then Nubian rights forum would like to wish all kenyans a Happy Madaraka Day.
While we celebrate madaraka, we cannot pretend that it is a happy day. Not when the state of the nation is no different from the colonial days.
#NotYetUhuru #notyetmadaraka
#aThread #MadarakaDay Image
There is no madaraka when #policebrutalityke is on the rise in select areas in the country during curfew hours under the silent watch of those in command like @NPSOfficial_KE @FredMatiangi @JBoinnet
Elite areas have movement with no cases of injustice.
#JusticeForSamuelMaina Image
There is no madaraka when kenyans are stripped of their dignity and denied to bury their loved ones while those priviledged in the country get decent send offs because somehow, government directives only apply to common mwananchi
What makes us different?
