[kictanet] www.births.go.ke & SMS

[Walubengo J]

@ Josiah,
True that - Mozilla flags   www.births.go.ke as a reported attack site - meaning bad boys and girls are using it to launch cyberattacks...

funny, just sitting at KICC (ICANN Meeting) listening to the Director General, CCK boasting of our East African Cyber Security Task Force. Maybe this force should start their work on addressing cybersecurity on  government websites...

Incidentally www.births.go.ke is reported by my browser as hosting malware so be careful...--

The daily queues outside Sheria House are a sign that it is time to speed-up digitization of the birth registration process. To solve the problem, I believe the Kenya ICT Board should lobby for immediate and longterm action within government: 







Immediate steps1. Application forms: All aplication forms must be availed on http://www.births.go.ke/ and the website made public asap.



2. Tracking: Parents should be able to track applications via SMS and via http://www.births.go.ke/ and via SMS. Models of this exist in government and it's simply a matter of replicating the approach.





  - National ID card application status -  http://www.identity.go.ke/search.html


  - Passport application status - http://www.immigration.go.ke/index.php?id=25



3. No identity cards (or even primary school admissions) should be issued without the birth certificate. This will encourage registration of births.







Longterm actions
* Every maternity hospital must submit birth information on a daily basis (electronically) and parents issued with a serial number for use in tracking and collecting the birth certificates. Home births via midwives must also be submitted via a registered midwife who must be attached to a local government hospital.



Regards,


Wainaina
