amolo··on Nigeria has started issuing e-passports to citizens

Good progress. Following suit here in Kenya. One thing that is saddening though is the fact that these contracts are done by mostly contractors who we don't know what their intentions are with our data (at least for Kenya). We have all seen the 'bad-actor' moves in China already. What about our economies, our people, our data.

They do not claim to be a Canadian company for PR and media attention. Thats the difference. Secondly, Jumia really exploits Africans to make a quick buck, they sell purely Chinese grade C goods all this is not benefiting Africans. This is modern day cannibalization. (and they still aren't profitable).
