Polygamous families can now register up to 5 spouses in the national Integrated Management System (NIIMS), commonly referred to as the Huduma Namba.
President Uhuru Kenyatta officially launched the registration exercise on Tuesday by acquiring his own Huduma Number before flagging off distributions of NIIMS registration kits to all the 47 counties.
A copy of the registration form seen by Daily active Kenya offers each applicant up to five options to name their spouse(s).
“The need for accurate data as a key enabler for national planning, insurance of birth and death certificates and associated rights of nationality, schooling, passport and property ownership are all valid reasons for registration,” said the President.
The project seeks to identify all Kenyan residents through a unique primary identifier and President Kenyatta assured Kenyans the information shared with the government will be secured.
