_______________________________________________Seems like #Saf suffers from the same ailments like GOK in communicating effectively? Or were they taking advantage of the situation as citizens fear gov't? The Chief of Risk Management & Security at #Saf points to enhancing security but It's apparent even from MJ's interview with #KTNNews that m-pesa is seeking to transition to be a fully fledged bank.Regards,Adrian Teri---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: Re: [kictanet] KICTANet Digest, Vol 170, Issue 11Good day all,There is something remiss and I see it unravelling rather quickly and badly. The CA is a gov't commission, essentially a creature of GoK. What's the purpose of Huduma namba while one still pays a facilitation fee of 1,050/= for numerous services in ecitizen only for them to collect the same data they did for the mass registration of huduma namba(fingerprints, photo and I even think an e signature was part of it too)? A Déjà vu to the Huduma Namba exercise where the gov't was simply unable to communicate that were upgrading our IDs from biographic to biometrics?Why waste productive capacity and man hours to duplicate data multiple times? Are your fingerprints & birth certificate changing? And even in aspects that do like your area of residence, contact details, marital status, assets etc. if there are 2 or more institutions requiring such info will you continue to trudge across all of them to update your details?I do believe the CA has technical people and in IT we know you can design an IDP or SSO-like system where you centralize(Just like the Huduma namba's aka "single source of truth") storage and management of your user's digital identities. In this analogy it would be a gov't institution/corp asserting you are who you claim to be(authentication).Regards,Adrian Teri---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: Re: [kictanet] SIM CARD REGISTRATION & DATA PROTECTION ACT, 2019@Mwendwa, apparently there's an electronic signature as well. I called Safaricom earlier this is what they told me: They will scan the ID, take a passport photo, and electronic signature 🤔On Fri, 8 Apr 2022 at 21:08, Mwendwa Kivuva via KICTANet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:_______________________________________________On Fri, 8 Apr 2022, 19:20 Mutindi Muema via KICTANet, <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:Gobsmaked in deed 💯The CA has finally stated today that kica SIM registration regs does not require photo of subscriber to be takenFull interview on Youtube here https://youtu.be/-SpW2rFhYxQMeaning then if you ever registered, you will not need to re-register.

“The Communications Authority did not order the telecommunications companies to register all SIM card holders afresh,” Chiloba exclusively told The Standard.Chiloba said the telecommunications companies that asked all Kenyans to re-register their lines, were “overzealous”, saying: “That’s not what we asked them to do.”The Director-General says the mobile service providers opted for a knee-jerk reaction after CA demanded that all the service providers must provide updated lists of all their registered customers by April 15, 2022.On Sat, Apr 9, 2022 at 12:19 AM Gachungi, Lydia via KICTANet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:_______________________________________________Good people, so what is the current position?. Asking from Addis and wondering since my sim card was already registered and when I dial *106# it verifies I am registered, do I need to re-register?
