Pole sana for the passing of Dr Wangila. He was a good friend and an active leader in the ICT sector in the country, beyond NTSA. ...I remember having a discussion once with him on how technology could help reduce accidents. He made a good point both the police and the NTSA needed a change of mindset where they helped drivers obey the law rather than entrapping them for extortion. For example, why wouldn't we have smart roads that warned you when over speeding in a controlled zone and asked, gently to slow down. ...I thought that was difficult, at least from the majority of people he worked with. May he rest in peace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Matunda Nyanchama, PhD, CISSP; Director & Managing Consultant, <mailto:mnyanchama@aganoconsulting.com> mnyanchama(a)aganoconsulting.com Agano Consulting Inc.; <http://www.aganoconsulting.com/> www.aganoconsulting.com; Twitter: <http://twitter.com/#%21/nmatunda> nmatunda; Skype: okiambe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Manage your ICT risks!

Mourning Dr. Fernando Wangila
by Grace Githaiga 20 Jun '20

20 Jun '20

Listers On behalf of KICTANet, we extend our deepest condolences to the family of the late Dr. Fernando Wangila. His death is a considerable loss, not only to his family but also for Kenya’s technology industry. We recognise him as a champion of digital transformation who made great contributions to Kenya’s tech industry. He was instrumental in the implementation of the Transport Information Management System (TIMS) at the National Transport and Safety Authority where he served as Head of ICT Director. As a KICTANet lister, he was always benevolent in sharing his ideas with us through our many forums. Peace and comfort to his family! Here are links to his pics in one of the KICTANet events: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cLa9IK4yMUdq0WKrTHh7_8LWNHeF4G5m/view?usp=… https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cLa9IK4yMUdq0WKrTHh7_8LWNHeF4G5m/view?usp=… https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cLa9IK4yMUdq0WKrTHh7_8LWNHeF4G5m/view?usp=…

Fwd: Update from the Lifeline Fund
by Grace Bomu 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Dear all, This may be of interest to CSOs and HRDs. Regards, ------- Dear colleagues, This email is to share with you that the *Lifeline Embattled CSO Assistance Fund*, a consortium of 7 international non-governmental organizations supported by 19 governments interested to push back against civic space threats - is temporarily expanding its advocacy grant criteria to enable CSOs to hold governments accountable for violations committed due to increasing restrictions to civic space during COVID-19 Please share with partners you consider could benefit from this fund. Best regards, *Sophia Hernández * Program Associate *Civic Engagement & Government **International * ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Danya Greenfield <Greenfield(a)freedomhouse.org> Date: Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 12:15 PM Subject: update from the Lifeline Fund To: Danya Greenfield <Greenfield(a)freedomhouse.org> Dear colleagues, We hope that you, your team, and your loved ones are healthy and safe. We are in a difficult moment – due to the impact of COVID-19 on all of our communities and this critical juncture for racial justice – but we wanted to reach out to share some new information with you. In response to increasing restrictions on civic space due to COVID-19, Lifeline is temporarily expanding its advocacy grant criteria to enable CSOs to hold governments accountable for such violations. Whereas our advocacy grants typically fund projects focused on freedom of association and assembly, we can now temporarily support projects that seek to address the impact of COVID-19 on a broader range of civic space issues, including freedom of expression; access to information and accountability; abuse of executive power; and misuse of surveillance and data. Attached you will find a summary of the three types of short-term assistance we can provide – emergency assistance, resiliency, and advocacy grants. We hope that you will share this information with other partners or CSOs that you feel might qualify for support, particularly those representing marginalized communities. For more information, please check www.csolifeline.org. As always, we welcome referrals from trusted partners. We look forward to engaging with you in thinking about more innovative ways to support CSOs on the front lines of human rights and social justice work around the world. Best Danya *The Lifeline Fund for Embattled CSOs <http://www.csolifeline.org/> provides **emergency financial assistance** to civil society organizations (CSOs) under threat or attack, as well as rapid response advocacy and resiliency grants to support CSOs in responding to broader threats against civic space. Founded in 2011, Lifeline is a consortium of 7 international non-governmental organizations supported by 19 governments that aims to push back against civic space threats. The Lifeline consortium is led by Freedom House and consists of Front Line Defenders, CIVICUS, International Center for Not-For-Profit Law (ICNL), People in Need (PIN), FORUM-ASIA, and Swedish International Liberal Center (SILC). Since its founding, Lifeline has provided grants to 2,222 at-risk civil society organizations (CSOs) in 115 countries. * -- Grace Mutung'u Skype: gracebomu @Bomu PGP ID : 0x33A3450F

Disruptive technology: Facebook launches Payments on WhatsApp
by Paul Magacha 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Dear Listers, Another disruption in the mobile payments market. Who will be the biggest winners? Biggest losers? Partner or compete? Today Facebook launches payments on WhatsApp in Brazil using Facebook Pay. "We're making sending and receiving money as easy as sharing photos." They are also enabling small businesses to make sales right within WhatsApp. It rolls out in Brazil today but Asia and Africa will soon follow as they are the biggest markets for Facebook. Interesting times ahead.. Regards, Paul. Sent from my iPhone
