Uncollected ID cards.

What you need to know:

  • Last month, the judge suspended the implementation of the Unique Personal Identifier (UPI), which is known as Maisha Namba, the rollout of the 3rd Generation ID card, the Maisha Digital ID, and the Maisha Database, which is expected to consolidate existing and independent databases into a single register.
  • Haki Na Sheria Initiative, who were the petitioners, challenged the constitutionality of the initiative, and the matter is pending a hearing before the High Court on October 4, 2024.
