I hate to come out as a conspiracy theorist, but isn't the timing for this (http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Safaricom-start-Sh15b-security-surveillance-project/-/1056/2534308/-/lx1x0jz/-/index.html) suspect? Just after we have suffered a serious attack, then surveillance system is approved? if I didn't know better i would think the attack was meant to accelerate the approval process! 

But then again, our Government wouldn't do that.
