[kictanet] Is anytthing going on with Automation of Government Reciepting?

[Leonard Aloo]

Listers,

Can someone please let me know why with all the ICT brains in Kenya, Government Receipts are still issued in longhand using carbon paper!

Without for a moment suggesting impropriety on the part of anyone currently using long hand, one suspects that, if the process is automated, revenue will rise significantly.  After all, how does one know that the seven (7) in the customer copy of the handwritten receipt is not accounted for as a one (1) in the duplicate copy.  Add zeros to the figures and see what effect it can have (7,000 = 1000; 70,000 = 10,000  etc).  Imagine the resultant reduction in taxes.

Do the government accounting officers not want to have a dashboard on their computers where they can see revenues coming in in real-time.

Does any one know if there is anything going on to remove us from the carbon paper age?

Regards,
