Gov't Releases Sample of Huduma Namba Card But Kenyans are Not Happy

Kenyans have been aggrieved by the government’s decision to use the image of a white woman on the sample of Huduma Namba card.

A sample of the e-card was shared on Twitter by Government Spokesperson Col. Cyrus Oguna, who sought to set the record straight after a fake version of the Huduma Namba card was circulated online. The fake Huduma Namba card had a Mastercard logo.

“This is the feel and look of the Huduma Card,” Oguna captioned an image of a sample of Huduma Namba card.

In a separate statement, Oguna said: “The Government of Kenya (GOK) has now distanced itself from the picture terming it as fake. Kenyans have been made to believe that this is how the #HudumaCard looks like. We wish to clarify that this is FAKE and that #HudumaCard has no expiry date. Kaa Chonjo.”

But what captured the attention of Kenyans on social media is the use of a picture of a Caucasian woman on the sample Huduma Namba card. They wondered why the government could not use a photo of a Kenyan.

@EstherAruka asked: “There was no indigenous African to use for the specimen?”

@BravinYuri tweeted: “So they had to use a white person as specimen. Wow!! 😂😂😂.”

@SankaHersi posed: “You could not get e.g Jane Kamau or Anthony Mutisia to use as a demo? Inferiority complex or a complete contempt for Kenyans? Which one is it?”

@geff_kim wondered: “Why would the kenyan govt use a sample with foreign details and even location to show a sample, they are not proud of their originality, this govt though needs prayers.”

@_samkioko said: “Apa kwa picha hamgepata "Wanjiku" ama "a fellow Kenyan" afikishe hii ujumbe ama Utopia would do it better!!? At such a time I still find this to be a misplaced priority, can we first deal with Corona issue!!!!”

@jandotony asked: “Why are you using a White woman, can't you get someone black like any other Kenyan to be a specimen 😠.”

    Billionaire Kenyans are complaining about a lightbrown woman yet their first names are all from the same woman,her husband,father,mother,siblings,children,relatives etc,yaani fake names.When was the costitution/law amended to replace Kenyan ID with HUDUMA number?Will the useless govt force billionaire Kenyans to replace all titles,bussines,properties etc registered under the Id's to the kasia huduma?

    So you know how much food you can buy for the hungry Kenyans with the money spent of changing the I’d to handyman number I’d?? Very mixed priorities if you asked me!

    The Chinese continue to mortgage Kenyans with debt and with their fake everything. This makes me want to puke when I think about the future of our country and the cheesy direction we are all heading to; a huge cliff a few feet ahead of us!

    Very soon you will find Kenyan names altered to Wong Ho Chi, King Kong or Wuhan!

  7. WalidNov 21, 2020

    What makes you think the person on the photo is not a Kenyan? Are you expressing your own low self esteem and and a bunch of your insecurities here? Gee weeez @guest13 please shut up!

  8. Guest #13Nov 21, 2020

    There are kenyan americans, kenyan briton, kenyan indians and there are kenyans. That does not look like a kenyan. no need to get all heated up.

  9. WalidNov 21, 2020

    And how does a Kenyan look like you dummy? There are pure blooded folks who are Kenyans! Don’t display your low levels of stupidity here!

    Inferiority complex

  13. JoshNov 21, 2020

    Is inferiority complex a cancer or a virus??

    I think it is both because it has lingered in Kenya for a very long time!

    Even our black women are now all white/pink toned; at least on the face where we can see but I’m not sure what color is under there....

    Where is the vaccine to cure this with a 110% efficacy? Dr Anthony Fauci or should I call Dr Omela, where is the vaccine to cure this ignorance????

    Rome freezes Every time they elect a black cardinal! And you guys just cerebrate thee thou cardinal with severe reservations!

    A black pope will have Rome redoing the white smoke for a new choice. Look at America, the seat of freedom and democracy!! Obama caused a huge stir with the evangelicals going to bed with Trump as they secretly supported choke on the neck (I cannot breath) policies...... against blacks.....

  21. KKNov 21, 2020

    @Margrer Do you own this real estate? You must be obtuse to reply to my “no comment”. Address the article unless it’s too complex for you to comprehend.

  22. WalidNov 22, 2020
