The registration of Huduma Number is continually gaining momentum across the Country as first lady Margret Kenyatta led statehouse team for registration yesterday.
State House Comptroller Kinuthia Mbugua, the Chief of Staff in the First Lady’s Office Constance Gakonyo, and Deputy Comptroller George Kariuki also registered.
Deputy president William Ruto is yet to register with Kenyans wondering what could be the reason.
Others included President Kenyatta’s Private Secretary Jomo Gecaga and Aide-De-Camp Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Stelu Lekolool.
President Kenyatta launched the national exercise of issuance of the Huduma Namba last Tuesday at Masii in Machakos County by signing up for his own number and flagging off the registration kits to all the 47 counties.
The NIIMS project seeks to identify all Kenyan residents and registered foreigners through a unique primary identifier using biometric (fingerprints and facials only), demographic and physical details in an exercise that also aims at enhancing national security.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has described the rumors surrounding the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) otherwise known as Huduma Namba as outrageous.
The Head of State was particularly disturbed by the narrative being peddled by some members of the clergy who were preaching to their congregations that the exercise was symbolic to that captured in the book of Revelation where it narrates about the mark of the beast – 666 – where no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark.
He cautioned members of the clergy and those entrusted to guide Kenyans in their spiritual nourishment journey to cease peddling what he termed as “lies”.
“Please let us not use the privileged positions we have been given and the respect that the people give us to spread lies. This is supposed to improve our ability to provide Kenyans with the services that they truly deserve and desire,” he said.
Speaking to a locat TV,former Kiambu governor William Kabogo said that the president should come out and tells Kenya what the hiden about the number.
Kabogo said that Kenyans are still worried whether the number is associated with 666 satanic number.
