A few years back at the Safaricom offices, President Kibaki tasked former Info & Comm Minister with implementing such "Digitization" in government. What ever happened to that? **Is PS Ndemo still tasked with implementing digitization? Regards, Wainaina On 4/16/09, wesley kiriinya <[email protected]> wrote:
Well our census is up in a few months. Let's see if technology will be used to verify the truth of the collected data.
I believe in a system where everything works like it's supposed to, data from deaths, births, immigration (and whatever affects population size) can be used to update the population statistics, and a census only conducted in areas where there seems to be an abnormal population size change (small-scale census). Technology can go a long way into making this a reality. I believe the cost of maintaining the technology and doing small-scale census would be cheaper than doing an entire census every decade.

In Summary
As the rest of the continent dithers, use of information communication technology in South Africa's political processes has enabled thousands of its citizens overseas to vote, a whole week ahead of their home-based compatriots.
JOHANNESBURG, Thursday As the rest of Africa dithers, South Africa has moved fast to embrace information communication technology as part of its political processes. And as a result of the revolutionary move, thousands of eligible voters have already cast their ballots away from home and a whole week ahead of their home-based compatriots.
