Government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna on Wednesday night shared two photos showing how a Huduma card will look like.

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.

Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
