1. Pervasive CCTV on all major routes and public spaces 2. Shared/Centralized databases for biometrics 3. Comprehensive "Watchlist" with as much biodata on suspects and potential suspects as can be gathered 4. Facial recognition technology 5. Top notch physical and digital forensics labs, tools and personnel 6. Encrypted inter-personnel communication (especially for first responders, investigative teams and key decision makers) 7. Fully integrated border control systems 8. Intelligence/Law enforcement access to all debit/credit card transactions (identity, location and time/date, not amounts) My two cents, Mblayo On Tue, Apr 15, 2014 at 10:26 AM, Barrack Otieno <otieno.barrack@gmail.com>wrote:

Michael Joseph kept saying we are a country on the verge of greatness but its this social vices that prevent us from achieving greatness as a country, if we sort this pillar we will achieve vision 2030 before 2030.

Couldn't agree with you more. Though technology can change habits it needs to be anchored on solid a social pillar. The other day I read a quote from Chris Kirubi about social media. What struck me is what he said,about technology. Although the quote was about social media and Brand Strategy I loved what he said about Technology being the tail NOT the dog.
"You don't need a social media strategy - you need a brand strategy that leverages social media. Don't get off the brand strategy just because there's a new communications channel, that's how you lose the plot as a brand. Technology is the tail, not the dog," Chris Kirubi, Chairman of Coca Cola Nairobi (via Tim Sanders).
So who wags who? The dog or the tail? Food for thought.

Mwendwa,
Our biggest challenge in achieving vision 2030 is in the Social and Political pillar. We need a concerted effort that will ensure that we are a value driven society, this is the only way we will tame social vices that have resulted in the current mess we are in. That said it can be done. Technology is a means to an end not an end in itself.
Best Regards

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.

Government to register all Kenyans afresh in digital database
http://mobile.nation.co.ke/news/Digital-database-for-all-kenyans/-/1950946/2...
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.
