Unwanted Witness also fears that giving third parties like telecom companies access to the identity card data could leave most Ugandans vulnerable to cyber-crime
An Advocacy group known as the Unwanted Witness has said the move by the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) to give the Uganda Communications Commission 50 identity card readers, meant to be distributed to different telecom companies, is in violation of the law.
Unwanted Witness also fears that giving third parties like telecom companies access to the identity card data could leave most Ugandans vulnerable to cyber-crime.
However, The Public Relations Officer of the National Identification Registration Authority, Michael Muganga says NIRA has vigorous security measures in place to counter cyber-crime.
