Kenya plans to digitise all essential services to improve service delivery for Kenyans.
President William Ruto hopes to complete the process by the end of 2023. According to him, 5,000 of the country’s 7,000 government services have been digitised.
Ruto wants the new system to provide each Kenyan newborn with a personal identification number.
He also says that accurate citizen data are necessary for inclusiveness, effective governance, and equitable resource distribution.
What’s more, the government plans to implement the Unique Personal Identifier (UPI), which will give newborns in Kenya a lifetime registration number, on September 16, 2023.
