M-pesa not working - resilience mechanisms needed
by Mwendwa Kivuva 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Today, Safaricom M-pesa has not been working. M-Pesa has been successful in promoting financial inclusion, especially for marginalized communities. M-pesa is a widely used mobile payment system in Kenya, and the government has based many of its payments on this platform. Local governments also base their rates and parking collection on M-pesa. Which other services use M-pesa as the only mode of payment? The downtime of M-pesa raises concerns about the country's dependence on a single payment platform and the need for resilience mechanisms for this critical national infrastructure. To mitigate the risks of downtime, it may be wise to consider additional payment systems and ensure that the existing infrastructure is robust and secure.

Petition Filed to Challenge Maisha Namba, Kenya's New ID System
by David Indeje 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

Dear Listers, A petition has been filed at the High Court of Kenya, seeking to stop the implementation of the Maisha Namba Digital Identity Ecosystem, a new system of identification for Kenyan citizens. The petition, filed on December 20, 2023, under the case number HCCHRPET/E524/2023, claims that the Maisha Namba system does not address the flaws of the previous National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS), also known as Huduma Namba, which was declared unconstitutional by the High Court in April 2021.
