[governance] WEBCAST TODAY: Huduma Number / National Identification Management System hearing

[Joly MacFie]

This is the first time we've ever run a stream out of a courtroom! They are
on lunch right now. This afternoon the Kenyan government is sending up its
expert witnesses. A very important, precedent setting, case. Follow the
twitter.

ISOC Live posted: "The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), the Nubian
Rights Forum and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNHCR) in
Kenya have gone to court to challenge the implementation of the National
Integrated Management System (NIIMs), aka Huduma Namba,"

*Kenya Human Rights Commission <https://www.khrc.or.ke/>* (KHRC), the*
Nubian Rights Forum <http://nubianrightsforum.org/>* and the *Kenya
National Commission on Human Rights <https://www.knchr.org/>* (KNHCR) in
Kenya have gone to court to challenge the implementation of the *National
Integrated Management System <http://www.hudumanamba.go.ke/>* (NIIMs),
aka *Huduma
Namba*, in light of the fact that requisite data protection legislation
does not exist. The petitioners argue that the system will create a fertile
ground for mass surveillance and will infringe on the right to privacy for
citizens since some of the data collected is unnecessary. NIIMs is similar
to the *Aadhaar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aadhaar>* system in India.
Today, *Wednesday 24 September 2019*, is Day 3 of the court hearing.
