If anyone recalls I asked for assistance in 2011 to build a database of all the refugees in the country with distributed points of registration starting in the camps. I wrote to Ndemo who was PS at the time and the idea was ignored. 

IT can change a lot, but it requires real effort and implementation. Good ideas alone are not enough.

Best wishes,

Government to register all Kenyans afresh in digital database

I've always wondered why it's virtually impossible to get UK or US
citizenship through the back door, unless you get into a phony
marriage with a delinquent from those countries. Will setting up a
biometric database prevent rogue employees at the department of
registration from getting bribes to register foreigners as Kenyan
citizens? As far as I can remember, when I applied for the kipande,
all my 10 digits' prints were taken.
