<p>Hi Philip & Listers.<br>
</p>
<p>An update would be great - in particular I seem to remember that
KRA/iTax was supposed to be one of the early adopters of the PKI
setup, and I do remember seeing something about PKI on the itax
login page some years back but don't know if it's still
active/working.</p>
<p>Also still trying to piece together a mental picture of the
historical/cronological development of digital id efforts
throughout the various Gov agencies - if anyone got "the big
picture" then a brief overview would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Kind regards<br>
Micahel Pedersen<br>

<p>Hi Listers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am a little late to this party ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Does anyone know what happened to the PKI effort championed
by the ICT-Board back in 2013 ? (see: <a
href="https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/corporate/companies/kenya-to-introduce-digital-signatures-for-online-services-2027870"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">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....<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In short does anyone have a full historical perspective of
how digital id efforts/attempts have evolved in Kenya over the
years ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>kind regards.<br>

months ago, the High Court struck down 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
