President Uhuru Kenyatta has said that the ongoing Huduma Namba registration will not be affected by the Easter holidays.
In his Easter holiday speech to the nation on Friday, Uhuru said that the exercise will proceed and stations will be open over the holidays.
He said that the plan is to enable people who have been busy with other engagements to get registered, further saying that he is impressed with the progress of the exercise so far.
Uhuru noted that 11 million Kenyans have so far been registered in the new digital system, an exercise that together with other leaders, he launched earlier in the month.
"Over this Easter period, our Huduma Namba registration centers will remain open, giving those who may have been too held up a chance register.
In just 16 days of active registration, I am proud to announce that an impressive 11 million people have registered for their Huduma Namba," the head of state said on Friday.
The President added that the exercise will soon be starting in several embassies across the world, urging Kenyans living in the diaspora to come out and get registered.
"Fellow Kenyans living in the Diaspora, I am pleased to inform you that the Huduma Namba registration begins on May 6th for a period of 45 days at our Embassies and Consulates," he added.
He also called for calm among Kenyans worried about the safety of their data with regards to the exercise, assuring them that the government will keep their information safe.
