President William Ruto’s government has signalled the end of the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS), well known as Huduma Namba, with a deep budget cut of Sh574 million.
In the new mini budget tabled before the National Assembly by the Treasury Cabinet Secretary, this is a reduction of 84 percent from the allocation of Sh680 million for the previous regime's controversial system that seeks to consolidate all the primary data on Kenyans into a single database.
