Nairobi, Feb. 24 -- The government is free to roll out the digital identity registration known as Maisha Card after the High Court lifted an order blocking its implementation.

The card, which the government had started implementing on a pilot basis in November last year before it was stopped by the court, contains a unique personal identifier (UPI) known as Maisha Namba.

The number, according to the government, will be the primary and lifelong registration and identification reference for holders.
