NASA strategist and the economic columnist David Ndii has vowed to reject the calls by the government to have Kenyans to get registered under the Huduma Namba biometric system.
Ndii argues that the process goes against the Kenya Citizens and Foreign Nationals Service Act No.12 of 2012.
The economic strategist is asking Kenyans to reject the governments call saying President Kenyatta should concentrate on bettering the livelihood of Kenyans.
He dismissed the initiative since, he believes, Huduma Namba will not provide food for the common, poor Kenyans.
"Custody of citizen registration data is governed by this law," he tweeted, adding that the Jubilee administration has failed to operationalize the Act for fear of losing the control of the voter register.
"Jubilee has refused to operationalize because they will lose control of voters register," claimed Ndii.
David Ndii's resistance comes barely a day after the government through the Principal Secretary Interior coordination Dr.Karanja Kibicho launched the pilot program at Nyandarua and rolled out in other selected counties.
The exercise is meant to achieve biometric registration of Kenyans in the select fifteen counties before the program is launched across the whole country next month.
Ndii has been a government critic ever since the disputed 2017 general elections.
The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) has also moved to court in a move to block the government initiative.
KHRC says biometric registration will make the government access people's DNA data without consent which will infringe on the rights of persons' privacy.
