Kenyans online have reacted to the discrepancies witnessed on the newly unveiled Huduma cards in which President Uhuru Kenyatta appeared dressed in a suit while in original photo he had only a shirt.
Uhuru Kenyatta and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta were among the first batch of Kenyans to receive the controversial cards after a long wait.
Uhuru launched the cards during the 11th Mashujaa Day Celebrations at Gusii stadium in Kisii, ignoring the DP’s men who have alleged a plot to rig the 2022 elections using Huduma Namba.
They claimed the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) better known as Huduma Namba, was being managed by a firm retained through the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to rig out the DP in the upcoming 2022 polls.
Appearing to be answering the DP lieutenants, Uhuru said that the Huduma Namba is an initiative that will ease the way Kenyans get government services.
“We started the work of ensuring every Kenyan will get their Huduma Namba which will ease the way they get government services,” Uhuru said.
Netizens however noticed the difference between the picture that appeared on the card and those that were taken during the huduma number registration. President Uhuru’s card bore a picture of him in a tie and a coat, which is totally different from what he wore when his photo was taken at the time of registration.

Margaret Kenyatta’s card also had a photo in clothes she did not wear during the registration. This has drawn alot of criticism online with Kenyans faulting Interior CS Fred Matiangi and the Attorney General for the inconsistencies. The Huduma Number registration process was clouded with alot of suspicion among Kenyans and the political class.
Many people had varying views about its essence. The government was incessant that the card would smoothen its delivery of services to the citizenry.
