[kictanet] Kenya's Criminal Justice System Goes Digital

[Josphat Karanja]

Grace,

Yes. I confirm I am part of the Judiciary team that has developed and
implemented the above mentioned system.

One of the key requirements is that we require a unique identifier for all
court users. That's why the requirement of the ID or passport. Connecting
to the eCitizen was to allow us validate the information supplied. I agree
with you there are challenges in relying on the eCitizen to get that
information but we are working with the relevant Department to make sure
the information is available.

It's true we require the information about the respondent to facilitate
eService after filing.

Regards
