President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday threw down the gauntlet on the rolling out of the Huduma Namba card to Parliament with an appeal to MPs to fast-track the hiring of a data commissioner.
This follows the release of a report by an inter-ministerial committee chaired by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’ i, which states that completion of the process depends on observing a High Court advisory on the official’s appointment.
This would conclude an exercise that started two years ago following the launch of a national security project that targeted to integrate citizens’ personal data into a single card.
