Kenya to introduce microchip-fitted numberplates

A new license plate system is being planned in Kenya to prevent fraud and improve driving standards. The new system uses microchip technology to improve security and make it impossible to tamper with or fake the ownership identity. The data in the microchip will make it difficult to simply change the license plates. There are additional plans for a central computer data capturing center. The chips will be read manually by police during spot checks, and may be able to be read by speed cameras that will be installed. This new license plate system is part of larger transportation reforms.
