Huduma Kenya Flags Key Mistake by Kenyans in ID Applications

Huduma Centres dub this backlog as a problem, but acknowledge their part in the mistake even as the 2027 general election is around the corner...

✨ Key Highlights

Huduma Kenya is facing a significant backlog of 462,500 uncollected National Identity Cards, posing a challenge ahead of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) voter registration drive.

Over 462,500 National ID cards remain uncollected nationwide.
The National Registration Bureau (NRB) and Huduma Kenya are heavily impacted by this backlog.
Many Kenyans are reapplying for IDs without confirming if their originals are ready, exacerbating the issue as the IEBC prepares to register an estimated 2.5 million new voters.
