[kictanet] Govt to start phone tapping in war on counterfeit trade

@Kentice,
Mobile phones (with specialised encrypted software) is indeed what is used in the election Results Transmission Systems (RTS). So to that extent, Mutemi is not too far-fetched.
HOWEVER, where  @Mutemi begins to be far-fetched is when he imagines any political party worth its salt would hack and doctor the content what is being transmitted as election results. Doctoring that wont help since the results sms that is send is a reflection of what is on the hard-copy tally sheets (Form 35/36).
Such a hack is not sustainable and therefore not worth investing in since the hard-copy figures will easily expose the hack.
walu.NB: there are better,  easier and fruitful hacks one can invest in, like ensuring the RTS does not work in the first place :-)

Which mobile phones are these that will be transmitting election results?  Isn't this so far-fetched?

Thought I should share this perspective with the listers...

And I quote...
I thought it wise to share my views with you. Tapping and listening to phone calls and reading messages may not be the main reason why the government wants access... 
The question we should be asking is... why now? Why during an election year?... 
My take is that.. someone wants to access the mobile phones that will be sending tallied results from polling centres so that they can doctor them before they reach IEBC. Kenyans should be vigilant on anything that happens from now onwards... till election day...Be vigilant wherever you are!!

Rachel, Wambua
Thank you for your prompt response. However, other than take your word for it it would also be prudent for the Telcos (Safaricom, Orange, Airtel) to also let us know their thoughts on this without fear of being victimized.
Steve? Anyone from Orange here with authority to speak? How about Airtel?

Dear listers, 
We are aware about the misleading reports in the media. The Authority will address the media shortly to clarify and explain how the system works.  There is no infringement of privacy. As a matter of fact, no information leaves the MNOs. Instead the system queries the databases (whitelist, type approved devices etc) to determine the genuineness of a device before service is given. What part of that is infringement of privacy?
We will share the statement with you to help all of you understand. No one needs to be instilled with fear that is generated by parties with vested interests. we want to eliminate illegal telecoms traffic through SIM boxing, counterfeit devices, substandard devices etc, for your good as the public. Not the other way as portrayed in the media.

But on what legal basis is the phone tapping being done? 
The closest connection I can see to the issue of counterfeit devices is the Type Approval Regulations, 2010.
If this is the basis, how can subsidiary legislation be used to limit a right like privacy?
Could CA clarify on what basis this is happening??? On 16 Feb 2017 8:02 p.m., "Ali Hussein via isoc" <isoc at lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
