Dear Katitza Rodriguez thanks for your email. Collection and storage of personal Biometrics information has elicited numerous debates here in Kenya.
I personally did the Advance Certificate in personal data privacy with Diplo and the course equipped me with more understanding of the topic. So when the government announced the registration of biometrics card for all individuals, I did not and haven't to date, although it was mandatory. In this regards, am planing to hold stakeholder meetings to highlight the issues and enlighten the public bacause there was no public participation by citizens to collect their views as is required by the constitution before such a national agenda is implemented. I will update you.
