This entire re-registration issue is a little hazy - if the register we have now is has inaccurate data, how will we ascertain who is or who isn't a citizen? Are we then saying that we will give citizenship to anyone who is a citizen? How will people prove citizenship? If we'll give citizenship to anyone, what's the point of the audit? Additionally, the problem is that immigration officials have repeatedly poisoned the well - however, nobody has been fired, so what's to prevent them from doing this again? In fact, what's to prevent them from viewing this re-registration as a windfall that will allow even more illegal aliens to be registered?

The police are, reliably, year after year, voted 'Most corrupt institution' in the country. I am sure there are a few good apples among them, but claiming anything else would just be empirically incorrect.

Be offended all you want. The fact of the matter is there is corruption at both immigration and the police.

Conrad,
I find it really offensive that you would paint every single police and immigration officer as corrupt. I am sure that in our case (as in any other country) it's a few bad apples. There are many men and women who faithfully serve this country every day and are not what you describe.....

Given it will be the same corrupt police and immigration officers running this exercise, what will be the point?

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.
