[kictanet] Press Statement By CA on DMS - rev 1.doc

[Rosemary Koech-Kimwatu]

Dear Rachel,

Thank you for your revert.

I however note that the statement in mentioning the mischief that the
gadgets were meant to remedy i.e counterfeit phones failed to mention the
absolute capability of the said device. The Authoritiy has not expressly
stated that the device is incapable of performing the alleged actions. The
only way to ease the state of panic over the whole affair is for a
technical audit to be carried to determine what the said gadgets are
capable of so that rest easy that our privacy is guaranteed!

I'm sure we have the technological expertise in this mailing list to
spearhead this.

Kind regards,

Rosemary Koech-Kimwatu
Advocate-Fintech and ICT Policy
