Data Protectors Podcast - Episode 1
by David Indeje 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

[image: Speakers - Instagram.png] Dear Listers, The first episode of the #DataProtectorsPodcast touches on data protection principles and how small businesses and organisations can integrate them into their operations. In this episode, Our speakers Liesa Borghaert and Mercy Mutindi delve into the seven data protection principles: (1) lawfulness, fairness, and transparency; (2) purpose limitation; (3) storage limitation; (4) data minimalisation; (5) accuracy; (6) integrity and confidentiality; and (7) accountability. Most importantly, they provide practical advice on how to incorporate these principles into organisations’ day-to-day operations. Produced by the Kenyan think tank KICTANET and the Digital Transformation Center (DTC) Kenya, in collaboration with the Nairobi Legal Hackers network, the Data Protectors Podcast brings together Kenyan and European experts to explore different aspects of data protection compliance, share lessons learned, and identify opportunities created with the enactment of the DPA and the GDPR. https://soundcloud.com/au-eu-d4d-hub/data-protectors-podcast-1-principles-o… -- *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje* *KICTANet Communications *_____________________________________ +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856 KICTANet portals KICTANet.or.ke <https://kictanet.or.ke/> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/kictanet> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/18428106/admin/> | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/KICTANet/>

Should Kenya do the same? International Best Practices on Data Localisation
by David Indeje 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Dear Listers, Where should data of strategic national importance be located, and why should that be important? Note: Data localization refers to the practice of keeping data within the region it originated from. For example, if an organization collects data in Kenya, they store it in Kenya rather than transferring it to another country for processing. Latest reflections on this particular subject.

AFRNIC is Currently on its Deathbed!!

[image: image.png] Dear Listers, "Effectively, AFRINIC is now on autopilot and seemingly drifting towards serious headwinds by the end of June 2023 when the tenure of the current few Board Members ends – while the replacement mechanism remains injuncted by court orders and other innuendos.

Election Technology and Electoral Justice In Kenya
by Victor Kapiyo 28 Mar '23

28 Mar '23

Dear Listers, ICJ Kenya recently produced a technical brief on Election Technology and Electoral Justice In Kenya. The brief considers the steps taken in the integration of election technology. It also assesses the context of integration of election technology and the impetus provided by the standards provided under the Constitution of Kenya 2010. The brief notes the historical uncertainty in the management of free and fair elections, the high constitutional standards, and the essence and substance of technology in election management. It recognizes the opportunities presented by technology in achieving the principles and objects set in the constitution. It proposes a principle and value-based approach by IEBC and the courts called upon to apply and interpret the legal framework. This brief notes that, in the past, there has been an attitude of election managers to attain bare minimalist compliance with the law. This brief note that the minimalist and full deference to the IEBC in explaining technology failure in 2013 was followed by a more substantive and principle-based consideration in 2017. There are instances where there has been targeted litigation that are clearly intended to curtail the transformative focus of the Constitution in election management and reinforce the minimalist approach.

CA notice Protests
by Sidney Ochieng 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hi all, The CA yesterday issued a warning to several media houses over their coverage of the demonstrations on Monday. It's not posted to their website yet as far as I can tell but it has been posted to their office twitter handle here <https://twitter.com/CA_Kenya/status/1638597216595050515>: https://twitter.com/CA_Kenya/status/1638597216595050515 I'd like to take sometime to explain why I think their statement is wrong: *ALL BROADCASTERS RE: BROADCAST COVERAGE OF DEMONSTRATIONS* So the CA understands these are demonstrations. That's good *Today, the Authority completed a review of Broadcast Coverage of Opposition demonstrations held on 20th March 2023. The Authority has established that at least Six (6) TV stations, namely, Citizen TV, NTV, K24, KBC, TV47 and Ebru TV, provided coverage in a manner that violated the Programming Code. The coverage depicted scenes that could cause panic or incitement to the public, threating peace and cohesion in the country. The Authority has, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the law, issued notices to the identified broadcasters to take immediate remedial actions.* *1. Section 33 of the Constitution of Kenya as read together with Section 5B of the Kenya Information and Communication Act, which provide that the constitutionally guaranteed right to Freedom of Expression, does not extend to propaganda for war, incitement to violence, hate speech or advocacy of hatred that constitutes ethnic incitement, vilification of others, or incitement to cause harm or discrimination;* The protests and the actions leading to them have been well covered. The initiator of these protests was the opposition and they made it clear why they were being called was a perceived disputed election, what they saw as poor leadership, and raising cost of living. It is their right as enshrined in the constitution, projected by freedom of speech and by the freedom to demo, picket and present petitions to public bodies. Meanwhile those of us who followed the protests on the various media mentioned by the CA were treated to scenes of people protesting the rising cost of living especially the cost of food. Nowhere was *propaganda for war, incitement to violence, hate speech or advocacy of hatred that constitutes ethnic incitement, vilification of others, or incitement to cause harm or discrimination * *2. Clauses 461 (1) (a) Kenya Information and Communications Act which requires licensed broadcasters to provide responsible and responsive programming that caters for the varied needs and susceptibilities of different sections of the Kenyan community;* Planned and executed nationwide protests I would think is coverage that whole country would be interested in. *3. Clauses 19 (1) (c) and (d) Kenya Information and Communications (Broadcasting) Regulations which requires a licensee to ensure that no broadcasts by its station "glorifies violence or depicts violence in an offensive manner; or is likely to incite, perpetuate hatred, vilify any person or section of the community;* If we were to go by the broadcasts I saw, and of course this could have been biased, the only glorification of violence and depict of it in an offensive manner was done by our police forces. The only report of a death across the entire country on Monday came at the hands of the police in Maseno. In fact it could be said, and has by some media houses, the escalation of violence was by the police. *4. Clause 10.2.1 of the Programming Code which requires broadcasters to take care in coverage of crisis situations so as not to hinder or obstruct efforts by authorities to resolve the situation;* I don't have much to say on this other than can the CA please provide evidence where a boradcastor blocked the police and any other emergency service trying to do their jobs? Or is the implication of this that they can't do their jobs while being recorded or somehow their work is secret and covert? *5. Section 5.8.4 of the Programming Code which states that presentation of news and commentaries must not be done in a way that would create unnecessary panic or alarm;* I'd like specific examples of this. *6. Section 5.8.3 of the Programming Code which states that morbid, violent, sensational or alarming details that are not essential to factual reporting are not permissible* Again. I'd like specific examples of this. *7. Clause 2.4 of the Programming Code which states that broadcasters are responsible for the broadcast materials relayed on their stations, regardless of their source, as well as professional activities of its employees.* This is the only thing in the entire statement I have no issues with. It is reasonable. I very strongly disagree with almost everything in this statement. I understand that some of these laws and policies were put into place after what we went through as a country in 2007/08 but them being used like this is a worrying assault of our freedoms, particularly those of expression. I will be writing to the CA directly and hope that they can bring forth compelling evidence to back otherwise this is a worrying politicisation of an agency that has for the most part done it job and stayed neutral/ -- Warmly, Sidney *Twitter:* @princelySid <https://twitter.com/princelySid>* |* *Github:* princelySid <https://github.com/princelySid> | *Web: *sidneyochieng.co.ke
