Government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna on Wednesday night shared two photos showing how a Huduma card will look like.
This came after Netizens and a section of media circulated another sample card that had an expiry date, with master card also being indicated on the card as a partner.
The circulation started shortly after Information, Communication and Technology Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru announced that National Identity Cards will case being operational on December 2021.
CS Mucheru made the announcement while leaving the roll out of the Huduma card distribution.
Interior Cabinet secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i led a similar exercise in Kiambu County.
According to the two Cabinet secretaries, Kenyans who had registered for Huduma Namba last year will start receiving their cards on December 1, 2020.
The Huduma cards are set to replace the current National ID cards.

With the image of a sample card doing rounds on social media, the government spokesperson had to come out and clarify.
However, the photo used on the sample card he shared caused an uproar, with Kenyans questioning why an image of a while woman had to be used.
Netizens had a problem with the woman on the sample card, who was identified as Martina Specimen.
However, the sample card shared by Oguna has no an expiry date, as compared to the one that had been circulated the media earlier.

let the dynasty grouped themselves,so that we can slaughter them at once.
When Murathe says "we" I wonder who it is that he is referring to. Anyway, I believe the road to state house for Dr.WSR might be bumpy but surely the Murathe's of this country can't stop Dr.WSR from getting there! I MIGHT BE WRONG BUT I AM RIGHT.
