@ Walu maybe the DG may want to define the EA CSTF and what it actually does :) however @Wainaina under your longterm actions possibly the government could consider unifying all those "identities" into a single reference. For example an typical Kenyan has an ID No, Passport No, Pin No, Birth Cert No, DL No and when they Pass on a Death Cert No. If one number is issued at birth and it covers all the things that require a number tracing and tracking people will not only be easy but all you will need to do is call up one number and it brings up all your details. This will not only encourage registration but make it easier to manage.<br>
