Long lines seen at the embassy in Washington a Kenyans try to beat Thursday deadline.
The process has been ongoing at the embassy in Washington, DC and it’s satellite consulates in Los Angeles, California and New York.
But even with the apparent long lines during these last days, its estimated that majority of Kenyans living in the US will miss out on the Huduma Namba due to a general sense apathy.
Kenyans living in the United States have been thronging the Kenyan embassy in Washington, DC in the last few days in a rush to register for Huduma Namba ahead of Thursday deadline.
Since Monday, the embassy staff have been dealing with an unusually large, at times unruly number of Kenyans, some of who have travelled many kilometres from other states to list on the National Integrated Identity Management System, also known as Huduma Namba, even as most had dismissed it as unnecessary inconvenience.
