Hi Nanjira, I'd like to read your curations but your link is dead, kindly resend. ION, the past fortnight Parliament appointed the Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. I believe these are the people we should lobby with regards to reinstating the lapsed data protection bill. You can see the membership of the committee and highlights of our ongoing research on the CIPIT blog here <http://blog.cipit.org/2017/12/22/biometrics-demystified-and-the-committee-on-communication-information-and-innovation/> .

Hi All, Merry Christmas. And a Happy New Year 2018 We wish all the best... We have been working to find a way around the biometric authentication issue and we have recently stumbled upon a unique proposition that combines biometric, pattern and pin on mobile which could an approach. The biometric is based on your hand stroke where the solutions builds characteristics of how your hand write on a touch screen of a device. We also believe now the technology / solution is now matured to be deployed. If you require further details please inbox us on Baiju.shah@ebiashara.com Thanks, Best Regards, Baiju
