Thanks for sharing, Kanini.

This issue reeks of  sinister intents. For instance, if CA switched off 1.5 million counterfeit devices in 2012 without this DMS, why is it needed now? 
Furthermore, The CA statement didn't ease the tension at hand, only raised more questions.

This is an election year. From shopping for police armoury to even previous reports of CA investing in equipment to "monitor online spaces", we have every right to be anxious and demand clarity.

Regards, 
Nanjira.

On that 'consumer awareness' and 'public participation' note. There's a Bill now before the Senate on Public Participation prescribing guidelines on how adequate public participation ought to be carried out. This being an election year it might not become law but could inform future legislative efforts on this area. Find attached.

The consumer awareness couldn’t be rolled out fast enough.

Rachel, Wambua

Thank you for your prompt response. However, other than take your word for it it would also be prudent for the Telcos (Safaricom, Orange, Airtel) to also let us know their thoughts on this without fear of being victimized.

Steve? Anyone from Orange here with authority to speak? How about Airtel?

Dear listers, 

We are aware about the misleading reports in the media. The Authority will address the media shortly to clarify and explain how the system works.  There is no infringement of privacy. As a matter of fact, no information leaves the MNOs. Instead the system queries the databases (whitelist, type approved devices etc) to determine the genuineness of a device before service is given. What part of that is infringement of privacy?

We will share the statement with you to help all of you understand. No one needs to be instilled with fear that is generated by parties with vested interests. we want to eliminate illegal telecoms traffic through SIM boxing, counterfeit devices, substandard devices etc, for your good as the public. Not the other way as portrayed in the media.

But on what legal basis is the phone tapping being done?
The closest connection I can see to the issue of counterfeit devices is the Type Approval Regulations, 2010.
If this is the basis, how can subsidiary legislation be used to limit a right like privacy?
Could CA clarify on what basis this is happening???

From Tuesday, the government wants to be allowed to listen to your calls, read your texts and review your mobile money transactions.

The government, through the Communications Authority of Kenya, has ordered mobile phone companies to allow it to tap their computers.
