Housing PS Charles Hinga has blamed the crashing of Kazi Mtaani portal hours after launch to unprecedented traffic.
"The Kazi Mtaani registration website is experiencing high traffic. The issue is being addressed to allow the high number of youth in interested in registering to access," Hinga said.
The recruitment process for the third phase of the Kazi Mtaani programme was beginning today, November 19.
Interested persons should register through the Kazi Mtaani Management System portal.
When most Kenyans woke up today morning, everyone was trying to access the portal which led to the crash of the website.
"Kindly note this is not a 1st come 1st serve and registration is open for the next two weeks," Hinga said.
Via Twitter on Friday, Hinga said everyone will register.
"Kindly note, the registration period will not close today. It’s also not 1st come 1st serve. We have over 1million traffic trying to register," he said.
"Also note there are many conmen asking you to pay, don’t pay anyone to register, it’s free of charge."
KMS is a mobile and web-based system developed by the government of Kenya to register and manage Kazi mtaani beneficiaries across the country.
Hinga said the web application will be used to register, process the data received from the mobile application, payments and reports.
"The mobile application will be used to collect workers, clock in and clock out and projects data."
Phase three of the programme will officially launch in December 2021.
The third phase is said to be robust and will be implemented in over 900 informal settlements across all counties and will run to the end of June 2022.
