Each NIIMS registration will generate a unique number to be known as a Huduma Namba whose purpose will be to assign a personal unique identification to facilitate government services after capturing biometric data of all citizens and foreigners.
The project will hold all citizens and non-citizens to register in this exercise so they can have access to government services like health among others and once It becomes operational, no access to such services to such a person who doesn’t have that number.
The pilot registration will run for a month and will be done in 15 counties including Nairobi, Uasin Gishu, Kajiado, Baringo, Marsabit, Embu, Makueni, Busia, Nyandarua, Kiambu, Kilifi and Tana River.
