The Kenyan government plans to roll out its digital identification system in December 2023 after the testing period, which will take a couple of months. According to the president of Kenya, William Ruto, whose speech at the East Africa Device Assembly Kenya plant in Athi River was cited by local media on Oct. 30:

Digital IDs will be introduced in the country, along with Maisha Namba, a system of lifelong personal identification numbers assigned to Kenyan citizens upon registration. The joint ID system will help the country digitize its registries and provide citizens with swifter access to state, educational and medical resources.
