Huduma number concerns remain pending as the Senate has suspended the National Integrated Identity Management System registration exercise until further notice (NIIMS) process until further notice.
Led by vice chairman Johnson Sakaja, the senate committee on National Security felt that cabinet secretaries Fred Matiang’i(interior),Joe Mucheru(ICT) and attorney General Paul Kihara should appear in person and explain the National Integrated Identity Management System popularly known as ‘Huduma Namba’ process.
Matiang’i instead sent CAS Patrick Ntutu who had asked the National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations committee for 14 days to provide the required information.
The other two weren’t available as well,and the drama that ensued as a result saw Sakaja demand that the three to appear before the house on March 11 at 8 am in person.
But Sakaja and the senators were angered by the fact that three did not appear Senate senate on Thursday morning.
“You have 30 senators before you… and the communication was with you by February 22 to appear here. This looks like a delaying tactic,” Sakaja said.
“As you are doing that delaying tactic, the process is going on… the Interior PS is in Radio Citizen right now and cannot talk to senators…AG is saying they are attending the State of Judiciary event.
