Uproar as Govt forces Hungry and Thirsty Turkanas to register for Huduma Namba

It seems that the Jubilee government is ready to use all means to have more Kenyans register for the recently introduced Huduma Namba.

Today, the government has dispatched chiefs from Turkana to Uganda to woe more than 40,000 pastoralists from the county who crossed over in search of pasture and water to register for the Huduma Namba in the National Integrated Management System (Niims).

The act of looking for thirsty and hungry Kenyans to register for Huduma Namba instead of meeting their basic needs was received well by social media users.

Here are some of the reactions;

Safaricom , Airtel , Equitel and Telkom has 40 milion combined registered subscribers. Why not access that data and link them to Huduma Namba? Hizi ni upuzi tupu, so huduma number is more important than their life🤔🤔
