Today in the middle of last minute rush I overheard someone saying how he spent 200 shillings to bribe the clerks to get the service.
My daughter called to persuade me to take this number so that I could be able to call her otherwise the earlier threat would be carried out!
Others have falsified information like education level or the home county details etc.
Surely @Murchr what have you done to God's people, and to what end have you terrified the masses to participate in an optional exercise?
What is this next phase you are talking about, and is it ethical? Those who pay bribes do it knowing it's wrong and criminal. Those who are taking the number want it for future use, its going to be very cumbersome later on if you and your dependants get education, hospital services from govt.

Paying of bribes, whether known to be wrong or not is a matter of power relation where the payer is threatened with a consequence. Is that threat the 'cumbersome' delivery of services where there is no absolute deadline? Besides, the data base can no longer be deemed truthful. If one can invite the clerks for tea while registering, how can we know that ghost citizens haven't been added to the register? Next time we will be told that @2012 doesn't have to use a voter ID and that's when we'll know of how rigging has gone tech...

I am yet to see anyone give a rational, coherent reason on why I need to waste my time in the queue to get huduma number. Democracy does not belong to the dead

Come to think of it, is this huduma namba a legal requirement like the ID which everyone needs to acquire after hitting 18? If it's not, then govt can't legally deny you access to services coz you don't have the namba?

It won't be long before this scam reveals itself for the monster it is.

While in Huduma queue, most of the forms i saw only had National ID number i.e no NHIF/KRA PIN/NSSF/Passport....which makes the Huduma number a 1:1 mapping to ID Number. Hapa serikari imechora a big zero. The Huduma Agent while processing my form with all details had the nerve to complain that people like me who have all the details filled are making his work difficult as it takes longer to key in all details.

Surely, only time will tell this huduma number is hard to justify ,if they only need ID then they should have told us they are updating our old IDs with more recent photos. mine is still the good old black and white photo.this has served me well for the last 20+ years .if it aint broke why fix punda amecheka

I have read the forms because they were circulating around and I got curious. As for the question about parents etc. Is irrelevant for the idea of being frustrated by the government because I didn't register. The Kenya government has always been frustrating me even before I go to apply for a passport anyway.

Actually it doesn't matter if you are counted if i remember you mentioned that you are in Trump land. So there majuu you know the implications of SSN and how it works with e-verify in rendering services. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

Stop lying... voting is for those who are 18 years and above and they must register in a certain constituency according to the law.. huduma number is for everyone.

Authentic and credible information identifying number aka Huduma Namba will be mandatory as countries progress. A few years ago Japan introduced the mandatory “ my number “. Citizens too were reluctant. The main difference is Government delivery to your doorstep. Currently you can’t live a normal life without the number. Similarly I do believe in the coming years it will be impossible to transact or attend any institution including hospitals without the Huduma Namba work to prosper

Yes... they have my biometrics and other details... but how will they know two of the most important pieces of information that are collected during voter registration 1) whether I want to vote - so that they can plan for me 2) where I want to vote?

@Masukuma, the objections you have presented are about your details being used for election theft you may be correct. Only theft requires a little more imagination than you seem to have - not withstanding your exhortation for others to use their minds.
One can create ghost voters who can answer both of your objections...
@Liv, it is better when everyone is registering for the number because it diverts attention. One doesn't go pickpocketing where there are no crowds.
PS. It may be that the number has been created with various purposes in mind.

Voter registration appears to be more credible than this process... One doesn't need a fixed number to live a 'normal life' even in a digital world. In fact, it may be shown that supplying ad hoc and random numbers may be better than having a fixed data base for wide usage...
