The Nakuru county Referral and Teaching hospital has taken to social media asking clients who have lost their National Identity Cards to visit the facility.

The IDs are said to be displayed at the Margret Kenyatta Mother and Baby Wing's.

"If you've misplaced your National Identification Card, please check the notice board at the Margaret Kenyatta Mother and Baby Wing. Some ID cards left behind by clients have been found and are available for pick-up," reads the post attached to the photo.

Although the move will help many recover their ID cards, one Facebook user Joss Montana has raised concern asking, “How safe is it to displaying ID numbers on Facebook?”

Speaking to Mtaa Wangu, Nakuru County Referral and Teaching Hospital Chief Nurse, Dr. Alphaxard Kemboi notes that the post was made in the best interest to help those who have misplaced their ID's.

" I acknowledge the issue of safeguarding personal information should be paramount. We will therefore conceal the ID and serial numbers on the ID's to protect the data information of our clients," he says.

Additionally, he noted that clients who have misplaced their IDs can visit the Billing office at PGH to check if they might have left them there and they will be assisted.

Since the government announced price changes to the replacement of national identity card (ID) to Sh 1000, memes went flying on how people would be safe guarding their ID.

Consequently, misplacing one's ID can cause jitters if you lose it.
