[kictanet] [Skunkworks] Fwd: Kenya’s PKI Destined for Failure?

[Kivuva]

Good points from Brian and Evans.

I think the elephant in the room is CCK to be the Root Certification
Authority. PPP as Brian puts it might be the best way to go, although it
has its own challenges, as we saw last year when KENIC was facing
leadership challenges, and discord within the board. Other channels might
be to tender for local companies to bid to be the RCA. This has worked very
well in developed countries.

The issue of HR can be sorted if we are willing to empower our youth, by
say Knowledge Transfer. Unfortunately, these Asians are not very keen
in transferring such knowledge to the client side of the business since
they want to be indispensable. But we can be forceful, and find ways to
train people who will administer the NPKI system. We currently have
thousands of security experts in the country, and we are willing to learn
more.

Kind Regards.
