Just like the Independent elections in Kenya the Huduma Namba registrations have already faced challenges.
The National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) registration exercise has been suspended in Kisumu, barely a day after the exercise was launched across the country
This was is after registration officials failed to show up at the designated stations on Wednesday.
Speaking to journalists on phone, Kisumu County Commissioner Pauline Dola cited the absence of crucial documents to facilitate the 45-day exercise that seeks to register all Kenyans in the new digital database.
Kosao Hall Registration Centre and the Jomo Kenyatta Sports Ground Centre remained on total lockdown leaving residents, who had turned up to register for the Huduma Namba, stranded.
Kenya on Tuesday joined the league of developed countries like the US, Europe, the United Arabs Emirates, India and Australia when it launched the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS).
President Uhuru Kenyatta led the exercise by signing for his own Huduma Namba and flagging off distribution of NIIMS registration kits to all the 47 counties.
