Short Thread.

I'm curious about Kenya's Integrated population registration system(IPRS)system which is theoretically "a one stop shop for all the population data-the single source of truth for population of all Kenyan and foreign resident in Kenya" according to @ImmigrationDept
I needed an ID replacement a few weeks back and that went as smoothly and I had my new ID within two weeks. The problem came up when I needed to register for something using the ID. Many orgs eg banks verify your ID with the govt through direct access to the IPRS system
The IPRS system should theoretically allow for fraud detection/ fake ID detection.

When I was opening an account, they checked the IPRS system and my ID didn't appear, though it had been issued to me two weeks earlier. I was sent to Huduma Centre
