<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;color:#0b5394">This entire re-registration issue is a little hazy - if the register we have now is has inaccurate data, how will we ascertain who is or who isn't a citizen? Are we then saying that we will give citizenship to anyone who is a citizen? How will people prove citizenship? If we'll give citizenship to anyone, what's the point of the audit? </div>

In fact, what's to prevent them from viewing this re-registration as a windfall that will allow even more illegal aliens to be registered? </div>

I've always wondered why it's virtually impossible to get UK or US<br>
citizenship through the back door, unless you get into a phony<br>
marriage with a delinquent from those countries. Will setting up a<br>
biometric database prevent rogue employees at the department of<br>
registration from getting bribes to register foreigners as Kenyan<br>
citizens? As far as I can remember, when I applied for the kipande,<br>
all my 10 digits' prints were taken.<br>
