These are fantastic ideas. Corruption and crime have also gone digital and
requires multi-strategies. On another note, am sharing the advert attached
and am sure you could be of assistance.

OnlineInterview with PS Ndemo

Wish to concur on ICTs in reducing corruption. Transparency  
International (Kenya) concluded circa 2007 that the institutions in  
government, that had significantly reduced corruption, had implemented  
various institutional reforms (where ICT falls). This is in comparison  
to disincentives through criminalisation/prosecution. At the time, the  
Teachers Service Commission was an example.

Those interested in more on this subject, see more here (my review on  
the Ethics and Anti-Corruption bill)

> Gilda,
> This is easy.  When I talked of end to end government, it means we  
> shall have a Public Key Infrastructure in place and intergrated  
> registration system.  From birth, smart ID, death permits to KRA all  
> will be intergrated. This will eliminate all those vote when they  
> are dead.
>
> Digitalization of all registries will create traceability at all  
> levels. See what has happened at Company Registry.  Revenue is up  
> from 30 m to 80 m.  You will no longer have temporally registered  
> companies with unknown directors as it happened with Anglo Leasing.
>
> Open data means that you will track public expenditure to the last  
> shilling.  You will for example know what I have been paid and for  
> what purpose.  Of course I also talked about e-procurement and  
> judiciary.
>
> With these measures we shall have dealt with 70% of corruption and  
> begin to restore trust in government.  After this you can start  
> dealing with the culture which accounts for 30% of corruption.   
> People must see justice and fairness before you change systems.   
> Change is all about trust.
>
> We are all inherently corrupt and we are at a stage we can deal with  
> the desease once and for all.  The time is now and we must keep hope  
> alive.
