In light of the Snowden leaks, highlighting the "close" relationship between US intelligence and US based IT vendors like IBM, it does not look like a wise move to place such a system, assuming it works, in the hands of IBM. Couple this system with IBM's access to MPESA, and other telco operators data centers, and then assuming IBM builds and operates a traffic management system, IBM (and the US) becomes very well positioned to access, control and monitor critical parts of Kenya's physical,  financial and telecommunications infrastructure and systems for years to come. Hell IBM (USA govt) can cripple Kenya at will.

Same applies to China, with its control and domination of Kenya's, and Africa's) communications infrastructure (mobile and landline).

Then again, we are a small country, so I guess it doesn't matter. It just makes me feel a bit naked, as an ordinary mwananchi in this small corner of the world.

Any fan of the tv series 'Person of Interest' would says , "You are being watched. The Kenyan government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because IBM built it. They designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people; people like you. Any crime the government considered relevant"
