Listers, This is indeed good news. We have a lot of hope in Mucheru and Victor Kyalo industry veterans who have indeed worked their way through the trenches. Most importantly we hope to see the return of a multi stakeholder form of engagement in the sector which we have been yearning for in a while. I think as a sector we might need to prepare a wish list for our new leaders and most importantly commit to work with them towards achieving their mandate. The reshuffle is timely still it comes at the end of the year and will allow us to start 2016 on a new slate.

Elections 2022: Kenyans fear hacking during elections
by David Indeje 26 Aug '22

26 Aug '22

[image: image.png] Dear Listers, Some interesting insights around Elections and Technology. Our Convenor Ms Grace Githaiga and Ms Egline Samoei,one of our Tech Observer shared insights on the just concluded August 9, 2022 elections for Quartz Africa. *“Kenyans don’t trust technology to run the electoral process. We are afraid that systems might be hacked. People want to see the votes counted one by one,” Egline Samoei.* *“Tech is seen as neural but it doesn’t run elections on its own. People behind the tech run elections. It is a case of garbage in, garbage out. If we key in the right data on the right verification mechanisms, then we will get verified election results,”Grace Githaiga told Quartz. * Read more of it here https://news.yahoo.com/kenyans-still-dont-trust-technology-114700550.html In addition, stay updated from our series of blogs about the 2022 Kenya Election. https://www.kictanet.or.ke/what-we-do/election-observers/

I'm starting to see interesting questions pop up and even statements like every technology is not perfect but .... 1. Can we ascertain & inventory versions & dependencies in the software used in the #KIEMS kits and IEBC's front & back-end servers? Were these pieces of software current/up-to-date? Vulnerable? Have publicly assigned #CVEs and/or exploits in the wild? 2. Are there security features for the configs/databases loaded onto the #KIEMS kits? If yes, have there been analyses for both hardware + software risks? 3. A #KIEMS kit for a polling station is the only device that can transmit(images of the Form34A) and there are limited chances to do so ...Are there tests and security analyses to substantiate authentication(verification) + authorization of these devices? 3.1 What's the process/flow of replacing a failed #KIEMS kit for a polling station ... 4. On transmission ...It is well known that IMSI catchers aka "Fake Cell Towers" are readily and aren't exorbitantly expensive. Considering many polling stations are clustered in a small geographical area this is even more feasible. There is even a 5G version of the device. Were #KIEMS kits' modems and/or cell towers hardened to mitigate well known issues like root-kits/backdoors can be injected into the SIM modules, access storage on a device, read messages and even intercept connections on a VPN!? ...sometimes the modem is given free reign to access the entire system! Read -> *https://replicant.us/freedom-privacy-security-issues.php <https://replicant.us/freedom-privacy-security-issues.php>* and Watch ->* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31D94QOo2gY <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31D94QOo2gY>* There are too many of these types of questions and rabbit holes to go over ... IEBC kindly open source your entire codebase, infrastructure provisioning + configurations etc. Have days where hobbyists and "hackers"/tinkerers can play & take apart the hardware to be used in the next elections. Start this process now! Yes this will limit companies you can contract with in the future but for the sake of transparency, accountability and potentially identifying, quantifying & thwarting risks do this!

Kenya National Digital Master Plan 2022 -2032
by Mwendwa Kivuva 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

As we reach the crescendo in the election cycle to usher in a new government, the 2017-2022 regime is winding up its work. One important document that has been launched is The Kenya National Digital Master Plan 2022-2032. This is a progression of the 2014-2017 document. This Master Plan has four pillars that are responsible for the provision of digital services to citizens, businesses and other stakeholders: a. Digital Infrastructure: For equitable access to national service through a pervasive and ubiquitous national ICT infrastructure; b. Digital Government Service, Product and Data Management: For provision of e-Government information and services for improved productivity, efficiency, effectiveness and governance in all sectors. It also considers technology related products and services. c. Digital Skills: For the development of a digitally skilled workforce and citizenry that is grounded on ethical practices and social cultural values to implement and operationalize this master plan; and d. Digital Innovation, Enterprise and Digital Business: For enhancing the innovation value chain in order to turn innovative ideas into sustainable businesses and operating models. The pillar also aims to migrate businesses onto the digital platform. The document can be accessed through https://cms.icta.go.ke/sites/default/files/2022-04/Kenya%20Digital%20Master… -- Best Regards, ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya https://www.linkedin.com/in/mwendwa-kivuva
