    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)Travellers have to complete the declaration forms because they are provided for in Sections 16 and 17 of the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Regulations 2012. Filling of declaration forms is also an East African Community procedure under the East African Community Protocol. At the international level, the practice is provided for in the international civil aviation organization, annex 9 on facilitation. (b) I am aware that most of the information required in these forms is also contained in the passport or other travel documents. However, some information that is crucial to other sectors like security is not available in the passport and other travel documents. These include:- (i) details of duration of stay, physical address and telephone numbers; (ii) flight details, points of embarkation or disembarkation; (iii) reasons for entry into the country. (c)There is an ongoing process to computerize all operations of the Department of Immigration. Currently, all international airports and key border posts are computerized. Plans are at an advanced stage to introduce e-visa and e-border management system, which is a major project aimed at computerizing all the points of entry and exit for efficient and effective delivery of services, as well as enhancing border management."
