<div dir="ltr"><div>Very true Alex, there is still a lot to be done when it comes to eCitizen.</div><div><br></div>The issue you have mentioned aside, I believe if the Government is going to be considering activating eCitizen and the only portal there are 2 glaring issues (and they are very glaring, it's not a walk in the park - these issues will definitely need to be addressed).<div><ol><li>Firstly the eCitizen "My Profile" page has not been working and has not been resolved for years on end. What will happen if someone updates their details? Such as contact details? At the moment you can't do that on eCitizen.</li><li>Secondly, for a service as critical as eCitizen there needs to be a 2 factor authentication mechanism for added user security. When a choice of 2 factor authentication is also considered it should be able to work on multiple levels:</li><ol><li>Using phone number Auth (and it should have provision to work with numbers outside the country for diaspora based Kenyans).</li><li>Using email auth.</li><li>Using 3rd party 2FA services. Some countries develop their own 2FA auth applications that can be deployed on any smartphone and activated.</li></ol></ol><div>I think also credible cyber security will need to do assessment and recommendations.</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Dec 31, 2022 at 2:47 PM Alex Watila via KICTANet <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Ownership, revenue sharing, missing legal instruments etc<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">On a user experience (ux)</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">i applied for certificate of good conduct went to cid for fingerprinting and they told me they did not recognize the appointment given to me by the platform.
