The government has commenced generation nd issuance of Huduma Namba cards and electronic Identity Cards.
This is after the High Court on January 30 agreed to the roll-out of the National Integrated Identification Management System in favour of the government.
The schedule for the roll out of the process is set to be announced later.
A three-judge bench ruled on Thursday that Huduma Namba is lawful.
The justices did, however, note that the collection of DNA and GPS data were not only unconstitutional but also intrusive and unnecessary.
In a statement on Friday, Spokesman Cyrus Oguna said the ruling allows the generation of Huduma Namba to eligible Kenyans who registered.
Oguna said they will give Scheduled dates for the collection and issuance of the cards.
In February last year, a petition was filed challenging the implementation of NIMS barring the government from proceeding with the generation of e-ID.
The case was filed by the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), the Nubian Rights Forum and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNHCR).
They questioned the implementation of a digital platform that will digitise and centralise records of vital life events of citizens and foreigners in Kenya.
