[kictanet] KRA, M-PESA and our bank accounts

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

Thanks Nanjira.

I see where the next battle will be. In the legislative assembly. We need
to be vigilant. This is such a great topic for the 2016 IGF, although data
protection was discussed in the 2015 IGF.  We were honored to have Stephen
Chege represented Safaricom in the debates.

Safaricom said it will not give the Kenya Revenue Authority
<http://www.kra.go.ke/>(KRA) customer data unless laws touching on
confidentiality are changed to allow the mining of such information.

“As you are aware, the Constitution of Kenya restricts access to
confidential customer information,” Stephen Chege, Safaricom
<http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/stocks/-/1322440/1394278/-/shkse6/-/index.html>’s
corporate affairs director
