Quick answer
GeraWitness captures photos, video, and audio with device attestation, timestamp, and cryptographic hash, producing evidence that stands up under the Kenyan Evidence Act chain-of- custody expectations. Priced in KSh with M-Pesa billing.
Why Kenyans need tamper-evident capture
Journalists covering sensitive stories, SMEs documenting disputes with suppliers, landlord- tenant evidence in Nairobi, motor-accident documentation, and citizens recording police interactions all benefit from capture that can be cryptographically verified later. The Kenyan Evidence Act (Cap. 80) as amended and the Business Laws (Amendment) Act 2020 increasingly recognise electronic records where integrity can be proven.
How it works
- On capture, the app hashes the file (SHA-256) and signs with a device key bound to your National-ID-verified account.
- Timestamp is notarised via RFC 3161 TSA.
- Optional GPS and altimeter metadata.
- A chain-of-custody PDF can be generated on demand for advocates or police.
