We will be in court on Monday, March 10, 2025 at 10 am for the #MaishaNambaCase to challenge the fairness of the Maisha Namba ID system.
We believe it discriminates against certain groups in Kenya, violates privacy rights, and could prevent millions of people from getting necessary documents.
We will share an update if our petition asks are granted.
