[kictanet] Biometric authentication technology

[Robert Muthuri]

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

Kind regards,
