The Government will spend an estimated Sh2.8 billion on a system that will give names to all roads, and assign numbers to all buildings and parcels of land.
The National Addressing System (NAS), which is being developed by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), will enable authorities to pinpoint where every Kenyan lives and works.
It is also expected to enable the Government to offer essential services to all Kenyans, including those in informal settlements and rural areas, with ease.
Among the State agencies expected to significantly benefit from such a system are the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
“KRA will increase its tax base because the system will make it easy for them to easily identify businesses and their precise locations,” Broadcast Principal Secretary Sammy Itemere said.
He made the comments yesterday when he inaugurated a steering committee that will oversee the development the system. Mr Itemere added that the system would play an important role in transforming the country into an e-Commerce hub.
