Barrack What kills me about this is the 'Visit the nearest NTSA office'. Why are we as a country investing millions of dollars in ICT Platforms to help in G2C interaction and then ask us to go back to the Nyayo House era of lining up for driving licenses? What am I missing here?

NTSA - New driving license a big joke
by Barrack Otieno 28 May '18

28 May '18

Listers, I was just checking on twitter the requirements for the new generation driving license by NTSA and i must admit that it is a big joke and a scam. For starters, the requirement that one deposits KES 3150 is a big joke knowing that this is almost half the salary of workers upcountry (forget those driving around in government or company owned guzzlers who pay for everything from office petty cash) In any case, an ATM card with similar features as the new driving license is free in local banks, can NTSA clarify what the public is paying for? With digitization, why does it take two weeks to obtain this new driving license?, arent this avenues for promoting corruption? #ifikieNTSA Wacha tubaki analog -- Barrack O.

Calling on volunteers for the 2018 Kenya IGF steering team!
by Grace Githaiga 24 May '18

24 May '18

Dear Listers Further to my earlier _Save the date_ note, KICTANet wishes to invite volunteers from the different stakeholder groups to assist in preparation of the Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) 2018 edition, which is slated for Thursday 19th July 2018. It will be preceded by the 3rd Edition of Kenya School of Internet Governance (KeSIG) and the Youth IGF that is convened by Watoto Watch. The Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) is an annual meeting that brings together various stakeholder groups to dialogue on ICT and Internet policy. While the discussions give soft policy outcomes, KIGF is a knowledge sharing platform that informs and inspires policy actors in both the public and private sectors. The national forum also feeds into the regional and global IGFs through a chain of reporting and representation to the regional and global IGFs to entrench a bottom up Internet policy development process. Further, to create a strong link between global internet policies and the national ones. The volunteers will form a local Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) that will be expected to: 1.Reach out to the community to source community participation and KIGF subject focus areas. 2.Lead online discussions prior to the KIGF. 3.Coordinate logistics for the meeting. 4.Coordinate the actual event. 5.Report on outcomes of the event. To express interest, please send an email to info(a)kictanet.co.ke with the subject line "Kenya IGF 2018" indicating your stakeholder group, expertise and why you are interested in joining the steering committee of KIGF 2018 by Monday June 4 2018. Membership to the steering team is voluntary and all materials produced by KICTANet are published under creative commons licenses. Organisations from various stakeholder groups are encouraged to nominate representatives. For more information or clarification, kindly email the 2018 Chair of the organising team Victor Kapiyo (vkapiyo(a)gmail.com) About KICTANet The Kenya ICT Action Network is an open multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interests and involved in ICT policy and regulation. The network aims to act as a catalyst for reforms in the ICT sector in support of the national aim of ICT enabled growth and development.

The most widely available indicators are from the supply-side (reports from telecommunication operators) but they have significant concerns including over-counting due to multiple access devices or inactive subscriptions, and under-counting due to shared subscriptions. The demand-side indicators (household surveys, for example) are more reliable than supply side ones but they are expensive and thus limited in frequency. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) devoted considerable attention to accuracy of statistics in its 2016 ‘Measuring the Information Society Report’ which can be found here<https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Pages/publications/mis2016.aspx>. An interesting proposal - OTTs should report their country level statistics. WhatsApp, Telegram, for example, should give quarterly usage statistics, just like Safaricom gives tries to estimate user base. Or at least on request, such statistics should be available for policy and research development. -Moses On 21 May 2018, at 20:00, Ali Hussein via kictanet <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks Barrack and all You see how this can make one arrive at wrong decisions?

Group wants sections of Cybercrimes Act reviewed

Listers, In Summary - The group has also threatened to team up with other non-State actors to challenge the constitutionality of the law in court. - It says it punitive and unfair to place the burden of verifying the authenticity of any information on ordinary citizens and media agencies exercising and enjoying their right to freedom of expression - It adds if the law is left unchallenged, it will not only undermine the fight against corruption but also allow the State and its agencies to get away with lack of transparency. https://www.nation.co.ke/news/Group-wants-sections-of-Cybercrimes-Act-revie… -- Barrack O.
