By GABRIEL OGUDAMore by this AuthorThe government has insisted there will be no extension of the Huduma Namba registration past this Saturday, even though the court had ruled no deadline should be imposed on the exercise. But here is the Cabinet Secretary for Interior, Dr Fred Matiang’i, threatening God’s children that he will neither extend the Huduma Namba registration deadline nor entertain any requests to do so. When the court delivered its ruling last month, the government was ordered not to compel anyone to register for Huduma Namba and that the Huduma Namba should not be a precondition to the access of government services. IMPLICATIONSWe now know that this government only observes court rulings when it favours them because countless government officials have been on record threatening Kenyans with denial of government services if they don’t have the Huduma Namba registration slip. All these threats are flying around after the National Assembly raised questions on the integrity of the company entrusted with the tender to house the Huduma Namba databank.
