Potential Data Breach on E-Citizen Portal
by Timothy- Coach- Oriedo 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

The recent admission by treasury and disowning the Tech company behind e-citizen poses a major threat to exposure of millions of Kenyans data on that portal. >From below excerpt seems focus is on revenue but the bigger threat data no? “I am aware that the government has not authorised Goldrock Capital to collect the convenience fee or otherwise derive any remunerative benefit from any transaction carried out through the eCitizen portal. I am aware that Goldrock Capital is not authorised by the CS, National Treasury to collect revenue for and on behalf of the government,” Dr Thugge says in his response. Webmasters Kenya has also denied subcontracting Goldrock to collect money paid for government services through eCitizen. Ful article ... http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/news/Treasury-now-disowns-eCitizen-platf… I believe it high time we fast tract adoption of the Data Protection and Data Residency act. The GDPR comes into effect in May and we seem not aligned to that target.

by Nick Ngatia 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

As many of you may be aware, the C2C Summit on smarter digital infrastructure will be taking place at Radisson Blu Hotel on 28th and 29th of this month (In two weeks time). I have been invited to speak at the conference on *Open Cellular* and how such platforms can be utilized to improve digital connectivity in remote areas. However, I will be away in the last week of November and will unfortunately not make it to the summit. That said, I'm wondering whether any of you is interested in being a speaker. This session will take place on the afternoon of November 28th at 3 p.m. For most of us who are members of the Internet Society and took the Building Wireless Community Networks course, this might be a great opportunity to share your knowledge from the course and work experience at the conference. If you are interested in this opportunity, do reply to this email or contact me directly through: *ngatia(a)localpathways.org <ngatia(a)localpathways.org>* .

Privacy and Email Providers
by Francis Gesora 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Don't know if this makes sense, but if you try sending an email on gmail, with the word "attached" in your email body, gmail will always hold on sending and propose that you consider whether you want to attach a file. This seems a bit unsettling, does this mean email providers actually peruse the content of the emails prior / during sending? I know we agree to terms, but doesn't it go against privacy policies? -- Regards, Francis Gesora.

Treasury disowns company behind eCitizen
by Ali Hussein 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Really guys?? What is going on? Isn't this the time that the Government focuses, really focuses all these projects through a credible Government Chief Information Officer? Or is this role being played by ICTA? If so I daresay they are doing a dismal job at it. Read on:- The Treasury has disowned a firm that was contracted to collect revenue on its behalf from eCitizen users, deepening the mystery of how a private company took over a role ordinarily handled by the KRA. Treasury principal secretary Kamau Thugge has in fresh court papers stated that the government did not authorise any private firm to receive eCitizen payments on its behalf.

Listers The privacy discussion is becoming a central component of how we engage with brands. #BigTech doesn't believe in privacy. Period. Deal with it. Consumers (You and I) need to be circumspect on how we use 'free services'. There simply is no free lunch. Or dinner. Or breakfast. Someone needs to pay for it. IN 2010 the Facebook founder famously said that Privacy is no longer a social nom. https://www.wired.com/2010/04/report-facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-doesnt-be… Regards *Ali Hussein* *Principal* *Hussein & Associates* Tel: +254 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> 13th Floor , Delta Towers, Oracle Wing, Chiromo Road, Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya.

Fwd: [global-nn] Net Neutrality in Senegal? Bad bill presented
by Ali Hussein 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Listers Interesting development. Seems like the Senegalese Regulatory Authority wants to rewrite the Net Neutrality playbook.. See email thread below and link. My take is that at least they are making a stand on Net Neutrality. The question in Kenya after many years of barking at the trees we still don't have a formal conversation whether at the Policy or Regulatory level on Net Neutrality. Mark my words, this will one day come to bite us..In places I dare not mention...

Bad bill presented To: nncoalition(a)mailman.edri.org, global-nn(a)lists.riseup.net, " bestbits(a)lists.bestbits.net&gt &lt" <bestbits(a)lists.bestbits.net>, Luca Belli <luca.belli(a)fgv.br>, Peter Micek <peter(a)accessnow.org> Hi everyone, I've read that Senegal is discussing new telecommunications law, with implications for net neutrality. This is the original text <http://cticdakar.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=41682d288cc415e665c90fd…> (french). ASUTIC, a local NGO, is worried <http://asutic.org/fr/Le-Ministere-des-postes-et-telecommunications-legalise…> about the Bill. *I am specially concerned because the last paragraph of Article 28 of the proposed bill reads, that otherwise establishes a decent outline for net neutrality, reads:* *L'Autorité de régulation peut autoriser ou imposer toute mesure de gestion du trafic qu'elle juge utile pour, notamment, préserver l'équilibre économique et la concurrence dans le secteur des communications électroniques et veiller au traitement équitable de services similaires.* *In English: **The Regulatory Authority may authorize or impose any traffic management measure it deems necessary to, inter alia, preserve the economic equilibrium and competition in the electronic communications sector and ensure the fair treatment of similar services.* This is problematic because it advances the free-rider fallacy about OTTs and breaks the net neutrality principle. It would be bad if this kind of language that undermines net neutrality starts spreading across the region and the world. The Senegalese Ministry of Telecommunications (which webpage was down today, the irony) is holding a public consultation. I did some reading (my french is not perfect) and people can email their comments on the bill to mamoune.ngom(a)gouv.sn Does anyone know more about what's going on in Senegal with this bill? Anyone doing anything?
