Senators yesterday accused the chairperson of a committee of shielding two Cabinet secretaries from answering tough questions regarding the implementation of the Sh6 billion biometric registration.

Interior CS Fred Matiang’i and his ICT counterpart Joe Mucheru had been invited by the senators to shed light on the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) registration that has been rolled out in parts of the country. The exercise hopes to give every Kenyan a unique Huduma Namba.
