The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC), Huawei Kenya, and the Ministry of ICT conducted a four-day Data Privacy and Data Protection training for 200 youth in Wajir County to mark Safer Internet Day. In a separate development, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) announced it is developing a new, centralized, cloud-based ID-to-SIM Card Checker. This new system aims to replace the current fragmented system for verifying SIM card ownership. Additionally, an investigation by Techish Kenya has debunked the 'Fuliza excuse' commonly used for withholding M-PESA funds sent in error. The investigation confirmed that Safaricom's system automatically unwinds these transactions, even if a Fuliza overdraft has already debited the money.
