Did you Know? Kenyans rejected KRA’s PIN just like Huduma Number, some thought was for the beasts

The introduction of the iTax by the taxman elicited mixed reaction within the religious circles.

Christian thought that the pin had an association with the biblical 666 mark of identity.

The KRA had explained that the pin would help to reduce endless hours of lining as Kenyans wait to be served.

A long running Biblical prophesy was that Jesus Christ would lead His 1,000 year kingdom after toppling a great world government, whose key feature was a cashless economy where everyone had a PIN.

This forewarning, about rule of the Antichrist identified with 666 as ‘mark of the beast’ had gained currency a decade to KRA’s formation in 1995.

The beast, it was said, would come either from Rome (read the Pope) or America, where President Ronald Reagan had left office in 1989 and moved into a California ranch whose address was 666 St Cloud Road.

Rumour mills had it that the KRA PIN would be the one on Kenyans’ foreheads for easy identification by the 666 regime. The Book of Revelations added that “no man might buy or sell, save he that has the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name…whose number is six hundred three score and six.”

Without the PIN, there would no transactions. Everyone had to pledge loyalty to 666 to get the PIN. Kenyans were scared stiff of the PIN, which is a legal requirement.

Bemused by the other misconceptions held by the public about the process, the Head of State further downplayed claims that people will be compelled to take DNA samples when undertaking the exercise.

“The government is not interested in anyone’s DNA samples. The samples are only meant for an individual and their respective families,” he said.

So Uhuru should cool his temper and wait for the Kenyans to make their own decision.

Then public education will help “Wanjiku”understand the benefits of the number as no one would dare to register if proper education wont e available.
