Kenyans React: Government Announces That Those Who Don't Register For Huduma Namba Will Be Considered Foreigners

CAPTION: Tana River County Commissioner Oning'oi Ole'sosio This morning, Kenyans on social media were furious after a local daily reported that Tana River County Commissioner Oning'oi Ole'sosio had announced that people who will not have registered for the Huduma Namba by the deadline date could be considered foreigners and a threat to national security.

The report added that Mr Ole'sosio said so during an interview where he insisted that registration is necessary to “guarantee national security” and e“nsure efficient delivery of services”; claiming those against it had a hidden agenda.

Twitter users were not slow to react, with some expressing their joy over the prospect of getting deported into a different country in case they don't comply.

Others rubbished the commissioner's statement as just another desperate threat by the government to try and scare Kenyans into registering for the Huduma Namba.

This is what some of them had to say.
