Michuki,
I think you are limited to the current implementation technology thus u mention in the lines of AS numbers and the likes. But remember a need is the one that leads to cutting edge tweaks and hacks to deliver solutions.
I understand the current limitation is the AS numbers, but isnt that similar to the prefix in a mobile number? Considering IPv6 and the AS numbers, I can say the reason we need AS numbers is because BGP requires them.
Just the curiosity and the thots!
Not sure what you mean by moving from one ISP to another BUT you should note that probably most of the issues that happen do not originate with ISP itself but by the larger network like inflactructure etc. At the same time could be other issues.

DNS is not = ISP Freedom.
The solution is .
Option 1: Having your BGP/ASNQuite feasible and easy. You can step out at will and move anywhere with your "package". If this is far fetched, use vpn tunnels to any provider in the world, and route what you need. EG you can use UK/USA ips in KE. The tunnel is a short cut because all you need is update your tunnel parameters everytime you move from isp x to y - but am not sure if its allowed/legal in Kenya - Michuki advise.
Option 2: get dns names for every server/host that is key to your network - manage dns outside your mobile IP network. This will allow you to change IPs at will but allowing some time for propagation. may be cumbersome though especially dealing with reverse lookups-must involve your ISP. PTR-You have control of.
Option 3: Co-locate core services that might require/need close to 100% uptimen in data centres.
