Re: [kictanet] Security Situation in Kenya
by Peter Wakaba 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Government was supposed to export abroad and train, in britain and israel an initial 250 newly recruited and trained police officers handpicked from our universities for this purpose. I happen to know that the budget for this training is rather generous and a lot of the capbilities for this system are not in public domain. Safaricom does not oversee the security curriculum and apart from two people (both young kenyans) who are exclusively responsible and intimately involved with most parts of the project everything else is GOK. Ethiopia has been trying to put together a new generation digital monitoring and security system with aspects similar to what kenya i doing. Their consultant was kenyan. they have the same Huawei/ZTE mess we have. dont forget that in security issues what you see is not often what inr eality is the case. And meanwhile, the criminals, run and hide ads are still running.

James, , Listers I hope that the policy document which informed the drafting of the Bill will also be made available so that the public can participate meaningfully while discussing the Bill. Does any lister recall public consultation on such a policy?

Law enforcement agencies, the judiciary and the prosecutor should ordinarily not be allowed to initiate laws. They are likely to trample on the citizen's rights by making laws that make their job easier. How come that government agencies have a legal mandate to develop policy and its implementing instruments (legislation and regulations) are silent on this matter?

Here is an excerpt "U.S. House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers somewhat famously said last year that Huawei's products "cannot be trusted to be free of foreign state influence and thus pose a security threat to the United States and to our systems."
