Termie,
I disagree. If Kenyatta wants a biometric system for every employee, he should be the first to use it, then challenge the mpigs and judiciary to use it. All govt. employees must sign.
He'd have to have the discipline and ruthlessness of a Paul Kagame. Something the Kenyan state will not grant him, even if he were so inclined. Asubuhi pombe na bangi will never do that.
The point I am making. Such a biometric system will be abused by whoever is put in charge of it to make a quick shilling. That is the likeliest outcome.
There are enough, maybe more than enough, institutions in Kenya to tame corruption. In countries like Britain or the US, the police are enough.
What's missing in Kenya is a cultural change. You can't fight culture with gadgets. The gadgets instead end up facilitating the culture.
