Kibicho in a press briefing to announce the move said it will be targeting Kenyans who did not have a chance to enrol for the special identification numbers in 2019.
"37 million Kenyans registered for Huduma Namba in 2019. The process is 90% complete, Kenyans will be able to throw away all other cards once Huduma cards are produced.
"Children will now be born straight into Huduma Namba system," the Interior PS indicated.
It is expected that Kenyans will start receiving Huduma Namba Cards as a replacement for the National IDs before December 2020.
