Hi Eric: What a great question. Trouble is that word: anonymously. With ICT, the fear among Kenyan consumers is that nothing can be anonymous! Experts can track anonymous sms, phone calls, emails and IP addresses etc. If ICT experts were to assure people that they can be completely anonymous and are educated about it – you will have millions of complaints and confessions of bribes offered - flying in through twitter, facebook and the likes. The other problem is that when they can’t be tracked completely – they could be abused – by using them for smear campaigns. The balance is critical. Finally, the admissibility under the Evidence Act will be another key consideration for our Judiciary which has been slow on embracing ICT – the same way the ICC/Hague Court-rooms are!

Colleagues

Just a thought.  As we operationalise county governments, what is the possibility of setting up a website that would allow those who have or are forced to or are aware of situations where bribes have been given and/or asked to anonymously tell their stories?

Can I hear from the community?

Kind regards

EMA

The Lord bless thee and keep thee ........
