</span></span></span>Sim card registration<br>1. Where is this database located? Is it at the private companies (Telecos) or some government office?<br><div> </div>2. Do the police have the hardware and software to cheaply, efficiently and conviniently access the data? Who within the police authorizes access to such data? What measures are there to prevent an authorized person viewing the data from abusing it because now the person not only sees numbers, but knows the names and residential addresses of people contacting a particular number.<br><br>3. Why give an ID number and birth info, yet this birth info was used when getting the ID? It seems the govenment needs to put it's data in order.<br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 7/13/10, Judy Okite <i><judyokite@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Judy Okite <judyokite@gmail.com><br>Subject: [Skunkworks]

</span></span></span>Sim card registration- <span style=""> </span>on the 21<sup>st</sup> June 2010 the
government through <span style=""> </span>CCK(Communication
Commission of Kenya) declared it mandatory for all mobile users to register
their Sim cards</p>

acts of insecurity, including the wide spread threats posed by terrorism, drug
trafficking, money laundering, extortion, fraud, hate messages, and incitement
that are now wide spread throughout the world, “said the Minister for
Information and Communication.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Currently
we have 18million (I stand to be corrected ) mobile users in Kenya, In these
forms, one has to give their residential area , their identity card number,
their birth information etc… That is a whole lot of data on Kenyans… in short ,
a grand database! From yesterday’s discussions we saw that currently we have no
LAW<span style=""> </span>to guard this database.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Q. What will stop the Authority from using my details
wrongly?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Q.
What happens if I don’t register by 31<sup>st</sup> of July? I will be
disconnected? Under what LAW?</span></span></p>

</span>ii) When I send a SMS to 3007 with an ID card number, it returns with
voter details, full names, place of voting and voter card number of the ID card
holder, however,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1, the system put in place, does not verify in any way that
it’s the real owner of the ID card, that has sent this query?</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style=""><span style=""><span style="">a)<span style="">
</span></span></span>Can this data be manipulated? Then what?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A question, on top of my head, with all these ongoing, what
creates demand for LAW?(if there is anything, like that)</p>
