On July 8, 2021, Government Spokesperson Cyrus Oguna announced that preparations for the second phase of Huduma Namba card registration were complete.
According to Oguna, Phase II registration will be carried out at NRB offices across the country, and Kenyans can expect to receive notifications about their cards being ready for collection.
“Phase II registration is set to start soon. All logistical preparations have been completed, and once rolled out, the exercise shall be carried out at NRB offices in the whole country,” Oguna said.
Oguna also warned Kenyans to be cautious of fraudsters asking for money in exchange for a Huduma Card, emphasizing that the issuance of the card is free.
“We wish to remind Kenyans that the issuance of Huduma Card is free. Nobody should be conned to giving out any money to anyone. Any message purporting to be coming from the government and asking the recipient for any money is fake and should be treated as so,” he stated.
Additionally, Oguna encouraged Kenyans to respond to messages notifying them that their Huduma Card is ready for collection, and to take advantage of the option to change the preferred pick-up location.
