"content": "Sorry for that, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to give notice of the following Motion- THAT AWARE THAT a Certificate of Good Conduct is a major requirement for Kenyan citizens in accessing employment, business opportunities, and, in some instances, financial engagements with financial institutions in Kenya, with the certificate having a validity period of one year; CONCERNED THAT many Kenyans are compelled to travel long distances to access this service, both for the initial application and for any subsequent applications making the process tedious, time-consuming, and costly; FURTHER CONCERNED THAT the current manual application system is prone to delays and inconsistencies, which may compromise the authenticity and integrity of a Certificate of Good Conduct; COGNIZANT THAT the importance of introducing an automated Good Conduct Certification system, including the utilisation of biometric fingerprint verification through the deployment of biometric kits, will enhance accuracy, security, and expediency in verifying individual’s record; NOW THEREFORE, the Senate resolves that the National Police Service Commission, in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and National Administration to: 1. develop and implement an automated good conduct certification system designed to streamline the issuance, renewal, and verification of certificates of good conduct; 2. incorporate advanced technologies such as biometric fingerprint recognition, data encryption, and secure communication protocols to ensure the accuracy of individuals' records; 3. establish decentralised service points and deploys mobile registration units across counties to enhance accessibility, especially in remote areas; and, 4. scale up public awareness initiatives in rural areas on the application and renewal process for the Certificate of Good Conduct. Thank you."
