IMPLEMENTATION

OF

AN

AUTOMATED

AND

DECENTRALIZED CERTIFICATE OF GOOD CONDUCT SYSTEM IN

KENYA

(Sen. Joe Nyutu, MP)

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 utilization 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. 1. develop and implement an automated Good Conduct certification

system designed to streamline the issuance, renewal, and verification of certificates of good conduct;

1. 2. incorporate advanced technologies such as biometric fingerprint

recognition, data encryption, and secure communication protocols to ensure the accuracy of individuals' records;

1. 3. establish

decentralized service points and deploys mobile registration units across counties to enhance accessibility, especially in remote areas; and

1. 4. scale up public awareness initiatives in rural areas on the

application and renewal process for the Certificate of Good Conduct.

AND POLICY PROCESSES

(Sen. Veronica Maina, MP)

THAT AWARE THAT, Article 27 of the Constitution of Kenya guarantees the right to equality and freedom from discrimination, with Article 27(3) providing that women and men have the right to equal treatment, including the right to equal opportunities in political, economic, cultural and social spheres;

FURTHER AWARE that Article 27(8) obligates the State to take legislative and other measures to redress any disadvantage suffered by individuals or groups as a result of past discrimination, and to ensure that not more than two-thirds of members of elective or appointive bodies shall be of the same gender;

…………./Appendix

(No. SUPP.092) TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 (1769)
