Kenyans to Receive Certificates of Good Conduct Within 24 Hours as Murkomen Launches New System

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) unveiled the Multi-Biometric Identification System (MBIS) at its Nairobi headquarters, with Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja gracing the official launch.

Speaking during the event, DCI Director Mohamed Amin said the new platform will reduce police clearance certificate (Certificate of Good Conduct) processing from the previous 14 days.

Previously, applicants waited about two weeks after submitting their biometric information. However, the new system will deliver the document much faster. The MBIS combines fingerprint, palmprint, and facial recognition into one secure biometric database.

Consequently, the DCI expects quicker processing, improved accuracy, and better public service delivery.

Thousands of Kenyans will now receive the Certificate of Good Conduct within one day after application under optimal operating conditions.

New DCI System Improves Certificate of Good Conduct Services

Director Amin said the new platform replaces the older fingerprint identification system.

He explained that the technology processes biometric data faster and more accurately hence, applicants will experience a smoother and more convenient application process.

Dr. Bethany welcomed the improvements after using the new system.

“The new DCI Police Clearance Certificate system is fast, efficient, and easy to use,” she said.

She added that the application process is well organized and saves applicants’ valuable time.

MBIS Strengthens Criminal Investigations

Meanwhile, the DCI will also use the system to strengthen criminal investigations. Director Amin said investigators will identify suspects more quickly using advanced biometric technology.

Officers will conduct fingerprint analysis and biometric matching with greater accuracy since the integrated database will also reduce duplicate and inaccurate biometric matches.

The justice system will also benefit from more reliable forensic evidence presented in court. The MBIS strengthens criminal records management through secure biometric identification.
