Would this have worked with a lookup in other databases that already have this data or where they weeding out fake data? Would this be better captured at birth? Think the priorities skewed do we really need the new gen passports, what population of Kenya's benefit from them would we not have utilized the money elsewhere, maybe...
It's a nice idea to have one number that follows you everywhere and the need to produce birth certificates every time you need to open a bank account or get services from the government. What laws actually govern this, lots of personal data in one place.
Will the police also get access to it and other organisations like safaricom, banks, credit bureaus etc when you register with them? and if so how does access to that data be implemented?
On a lighter note if you don't get registered what happens to the old ID? Will the it stop being valid? What about the passports?
