[kictanet] Fwd: Kenya Shifts To Smart Driving Licences - Kenyan Wallstreet

[Grace Mutung'u]

Hi Coach,
Thank you for the piece.

I have seen pictures of the smart licence circulating on social media. It
would be great to know more about this, for instance, how it actually
works, the data privacy measures, what information will be available to
traffic officers, how citizens can get their data corrected etc. Do you
have access to this information?

I agree with you about the smart licenses being developed in a silo but
until we have a data protection framework in place, I will not be too eager
about data sharing.

Regards,
