Listers,

As you are aware, the Kenya Information and Communications Act, Cap 411A, provides a legal framework for the provision of electronic commerce services in the country. In particular, the Act and the Electronic Certification and Domain Name Administration) Regulations, 2010, define the conditions that must be met for electronic communication to be recognized as authentic or as emanating from either a person or an institution. In addition, the Act provides for the establishment of a framework based on a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) model.

In recognition of the foregoing, CCK has developed a licensing framework for Electronic Certification Service Providers (E-CSP) to support the PKI framework and which will subsequently lead to an amendment of the Market Structure.

CCK, therefore, wishes to invite stakeholders and members of the public to submit their comments on the proposed licensing framework for Electronic Certification Service Providers. The comments submitted will be considered for incorporation in the final documents.

The consultation paper, the draft licence and the application form are available on our website at http://www.cck.go.ke/links/consultations/current.html  and will remain open for public review and feedback between 25th October  to 25th November 2013.

Comments/inputs may be submitted via e-certification at cck.go.ke or the address given below:

Director General
Communications Commission of Kenya
CCK Centre Waiyaki Way, Opp. Kianda School
P.O Box 14448 Nairobi - 00800
