Mr. Midiwo has just taken wind out of my sails. It is imperative that this country adopts a single identity for every Kenyan. Every Kenyan born should have a number. That number should be your identity, birth certificate number, bank account number and voter registration number, so that these numbers in a data bank become self-regulating and when you die it is deleted. We will never exhaust the numbers. So, it is imperative that this be given a priority, if we are to go the era of modern technology."}
