The court was clear: even processing and using the data collected needed the regulatory framework first
It's not yet in place
(Yet PS Kibicho said millions of #HudumaNamba records have been cleaned & matched - a clear violation)

The #HudumaNamba judgement highlights risks to #privacy, data protection, and inclusion & struck out use of DNA & GPS - a significant win for the rights of all Kenyans

Cross-examination of @iam_anandv, the second witness for the petitioners, will continue now
The witness reiterates that there is almost no publicly available technical information about #NIIMS or #HudumaNamba, but by looking at the technological purpose that govt has repeatedly stated, the architecture can be understood
