<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Good day all,</div><div><br></div><div>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)?

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?<br></div><div><br></div><div>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).<br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Regards,</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Adrian Teri</span><br></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
