I would support devolved corruption anyday than giving those tender to Chinese or some other foreigners. Let's keep our capital local. Preposterous but good for the economy. You never know, next time it's your company that will get these tenders. On Oct 8, 2015 6:24 PM, "John K. via skunkworks" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
@Oliver I have no problem with the company itself, it's how the tender was awarded and system implemented. There are too many red flags.
1. They are the most expensive, at 4.5% per transaction, in addition to the 20m awarded. KRA, CraftSilicon would have charged 2.5% to implement the same. 2. KCB denies any partnership with them 3. Suspicious confidentiality clause, no one can ask what data is exchanged between ncc and jp. 4. Sloppy technical implementation / lack of security, and audit
This this had happened with an Indian company (like the laptop saga) nobody would be defending them. The evidence would be speaking for itself.
If none of these issues were there I would be promoting this system all over the place. You have no idea how I waited to pay for parking from home via m-pesa.

Not really, I had no problem with them. It was their lack of basic security that made me suspicious. How an app dealing with real world money did not have an audit to report lack of ssl was very worrying. I suspect there is no security or risk team anywhere in sight.

I'll just leave this here.

How did they win a tender when they were not associated with a financial institution? KCB denied any links with them. I don't know what can save this country.
