More than 1000 people have been registered in the National Integrated Identity Management System in the first two days of the pilot phase of registration in Embu County.
Water Principal Secretary Joseph Irungu expressed satisfaction with the turnout urging more residents to register in the database which will help the government in national planning.
Irungu accompanied by Embu County Commissioner Abdullahi Galgalo Hiddi oversaw the roll out of the pilot phase of registration in Nthambo, Manyatta and Karaba sub-locations.
Irungu dispelled rumors surrounding the NIIMS saying registration of people is necessary for national planning.
The pilot phase of registration of the NIIMs also known as Huduma Namba is being undertaken in 15 counties.
