<p>Hi Listers,</p>
<p>I am a little late to this party ;-)</p>
<p>Does anyone know what happened to the PKI effort championed by
the ICT-Board back in 2013 ? (see:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/corporate/companies/kenya-to-introduce-digital-signatures-for-online-services-2027870">https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/corporate/companies/kenya-to-introduce-digital-signatures-for-online-services-2027870</a>
)<br>
Just trying to gain some perspective. Is the "Huduma Namba" an
evolved version of what was supposedly "ready in October 2013", or
was the PKI abandoned and the Huduma Namba is a completely
different thing....</p>
<p>In short does anyone have a full historical perspective of how
digital id efforts/attempts have evolved in Kenya over the years ?<br>
</p>
<p>kind regards.<br>
Michael Pedersen</p>

the Government of Kenya’s decision to roll out the issuance
of Huduma Cards due to violations of the Data Protection
Act, 2019. The state was told to conduct a <a

before anything else takes place. (Kenyans were happy of
course). In response, the Government has come up with
"Huduma Bill 2021" (attached) for those who need to read its
contents. </div>
