Kenya Human Rights Commission wants the government stopped from implementing the National Integrated Identification Management System (Niims). According to the commission, there already exists a parallel mechanism called the Integrated Population Registration System. It argued that the legislation of Niims does not provide for a transition mechanism from the present regime and exposes taxpayers to inconveniences.
