Cayman’s e-Government director has said that new eID cards will form an essential part of his body’s services.
During an e-Governance Academy conference this week, Ian Tibbetts said he thinks a national ID should be part of the eventual e-government system, giving people access to government and private sector services.
He was speaking during a visit by the Estonian foundation, which has worked with small countries to help boost online government services to make things easier and more accessible for civil servants and the public.
“You have to have unique IDs to support all the different users,” Estonian trainer Annela Kiirats told the Cayman Compass.
However, Cayman’s acting information commissioner, Jan Liebaers, a proponent of pending data protection legislation, told the newspaper that there are “serious privacy concerns” with the e-government proposal and government needs to get the privacy protections in place.
