This Day of the African Child 2026, we seize this opportunity to urge the🇰🇪government @crs_kenya to put in place mechanisms that ensure that birth registration is free, accessible to all and issued to each newborn child. #DAC2026#MakeBirthCertsFree#RighttoIdentity#MyIDMyRight
On Day of the African Child,
Paranet reaffirms every child’s right to legal identity.
No child should be invisible. Every birth must be registered.
Every child deserves a name and a future. #RighttoIdentity
Many Kenyans - like pastoralists, border communities, and religious minorities - already face challenges getting IDs. The new system doesn’t fix those problems. Instead, it locks the same people out of essential services.@Haki_na_Sheria@NamatiKenya@NubianRights#IdentityForAll
The next issue we raised was privacy. Maisha Namba links your ID to your health, school, tax, and even financial information. #myidmyright#namatike#hakinasheria
Another issue is the Maisha Card itself. It expires every ten years, forcing people to keep renewing and paying fees. On top of that, private companies like banks could gain access to your personal data - a major privacy concern.

We also reminded the court about Huduma Namba. That system failed both legally and technically. Instead of fixing its mistakes, the government has simply rebranded it as Maisha Namba, carrying forward the same problems.
