It seems this Handcheck govt has evil ideas. So now the hustlers will have to part with what they do not even have in the first place.

How does this differ from pin in the way a tax payer will declare income to kra?

This huduma number is totally mismanaged. The idea is great but implementation a mess.

To me huduma was a data haversisting exercise in disguise. It is done for that purpose and all the other stuff is just an after thought

That is the way things are done in Kenya. All along someone is just plotting to line his pockets.

Somebody just wanted to loot - our ID is unique - instead of huduma number - we should have added a chip - and made it second or third generation ID card - with biometircs.

This must be Matiangi grand scheme to loot...

Otherwise the data integration should be done at server end - not at front end - because the data you ask me today - tomorrow it wont be accurate.

So basically gov should behind the scenes in server - link PIN to ID, ID to NSSF, NSSF to PIN, etc etc.

That way when you give out your ID - anyone with right credentials - can access all your data - banks for example can get your pin, nhif, nssf - biometrics - and etc.

So dump this huduma number - start to replace old IDS with chip based IDS - complete with biometrics.

Yes almost every sucessive gov has tried to do second generation national ID - it's just eating opportunities.

Linkage should be done behind the scenes.

ID should simply have you name, ID number, and biometrics.

The rest should be querying a central server.....for KRA - given ID number - they should retrieve PIN and all the tax details.

Kamket wife - who is Data Manager - should decide who get access and what level of details.

I dont see why we have Huduma and ID.....ID number already is gold standard...just add a chip to store all Huduma number stuff...and dump that Huduma Number.
