Community Forum in Eldama Ravine where we continue with sensitization and awareness creation on citizenship, #hudumanamba and #GBV with the Community
Making it our priority to ensure we listen and lobby for the rights of the indeginous and marginalized
The community requested @MOH_Kenya officers who sensitized people to use part of funds given by international donors to sensitize communities on #Covid_19 to increase awareness and understanding.
On citizenship and the process of registration for birth certificate, it is advisable for a mother to give birth in hospital to allow for notification and a processing of a birth certificate.

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
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)
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
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
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 #Statelessness#ukweli#IdentityandCitizenship
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
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? #EndPoliceBrutalityKE
