The governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, Dr Patrick Ngugi Njoroge launched the new GIS data maps at the Hilton Hotel in Nairobi on 29 October, an event attended by about 70 people.

This would help in reducing the number of fraud cases experienced by providers as identified from the survey findings.
