[kictanet] KICTANet Digest, Vol 170, Issue 11

[Adrian Teri]

Good day all,

There is something remiss and I see it unravelling rather quickly and
badly. The CA is a gov't commission, essentially a creature of GoK. What's
the purpose of Huduma namba while one still pays a facilitation fee of
1,050/= for numerous services in ecitizen only for them to collect the same
data they did for the mass registration of huduma namba(fingerprints, photo
and I even think an e signature was part of it too)? A Déjà vu to the
Huduma Namba exercise where the gov't was simply unable to communicate that
were upgrading our IDs from biographic to biometrics?

Why waste productive capacity and man hours to duplicate data multiple
times? Are your fingerprints & birth certificate changing? And even in
aspects that do like your area of residence, contact details, marital
status, assets etc. if there are 2 or more institutions requiring such info
will you continue to trudge across all of them to update your details?

I do believe the CA has technical people and in IT we know you can design
an IDP or SSO-like system where you centralize(Just like the Huduma namba's
aka "single source of truth") storage and management of your user's digital
identities. In this analogy it would be a gov't institution/corp asserting
you are who you claim to be(authentication).

Regards,
Adrian Teri
