Good afternoon,

Was reading about it (http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/news/Uhuru-launch-digital-driving-licences/539546-4010774-jm7r8hz/index.html) and wondered if the underlying laws have been updated e.g. traffic offenses being charged on points instead of fines.

 

I was also wondering about the underlying business case. Is it to stop corruption by traffic police? Weed out fake driving licenses? Etc

 

Regards,

 

Alex

Listers,

 

Whereas this is a bold move by NTSA towards digitization, i feel we are missing a bigger opportunity of digitizing our National ID cards and integrate the Driving Licence, Educational Qualification, Health records, KRA tax records and even Election and Travel documentation into one seamless document. 

 

I note that the new design is a chip and PIN that is a repository of Biometric information that is the common denominator in most documents. There is need for intra-government collaboration to ride on the crest of emerging technologies and deploy services to citizens with forward looking solutions and efficiencies.
