NEW DATA PROTECTION LAW NECESSITATES COMPLIANCE POLICIES IN ORGANISATIONS
by Tom Kabau 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Hello Listers, As you are aware, personal data has become an extremely vital economic and governance resource in the contemporary information age. Vast amounts of personal data of Kenyans is collected, processed, shared and exploited by public organisations, private entities and business corporations locally and globally on a daily basis. In Kenya, this has necessitated regulation of the collection and management of personal data by organisations and corporations, resulting in the enactment of the Data Protection Act ... corporations and organisations have to, inevitably, develop legally sound and comprehensive data protection and usage policies and statements to guide their staff, agents, assignees and licensees on the acceptable data management practices in order to avoid legal liability. For further details, download my brief commentary at: http://www.lesinkonjoroge.com/New-Data-Protection-Law-Necessitates-Complian… -- Dr. Tom Kabau PhD (University of Hong Kong), LLM and LLB (University of Nairobi) Senior Lecturer and Chair of Law, Science and Technology Department School of Law Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Nairobi Cell Phone: +254 721 628646 / +254 735 070312 Advocate and Legal Consultant Lesinko, Njoroge & Gathogo Advocates http://www.lesinkonjoroge.com/ Select Publications: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=1600181

For quality laws, MPs should consult stakeholders
by Grace Githaiga 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

>From Walu on our town hall last week: IN SUMMARY * So last week, Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTAnet) hosted what is possibly the first town hall meeting with Members of Parliament – specifically the Parliamentary Committee on ICT. * More often than not, MPs meet citizens in only two settings – during election campaigns and during formal stakeholder engagement sessions at Parliament buildings. * Participants from media, academia, civil society, private sector, youth, etc. asked questions and shared ICT experiences and subsequently got honest feedback from MPs. * It was evident that this sort of meetings with parliamentary committees in charge of various sectors should be encouraged and regularised. https://mobile.nation.co.ke/blogs/1949942-5354120-7bdgkj/index.html Best regards Grace Githaiga -- Grace Githaiga Co-Convenor, Kenya ICT Action Network

How bad tech policies are killing dreams of young entrepreneurs
by Grace Githaiga 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Good morning Listers Our submission to bunge was covered by Standard. During the campaigns for the 2013 presidential elections, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto adopted a manifesto that hinged on a narrative of digital transformation that eventually got the two elected. At the time, the two candidates told young voters that the existing crop of leaders was out of touch with the needs and aspirations of digital natives - young people under 25 who grew up in an age when smart phones, the internet and social media were becoming mainstream - and that they were best-equipped to drive a digital economy. Half a decade later and the narrative of a ‘digital government’ is quickly unraveling. In the last two years, the government has proven to be the most detrimental to Kenya’s digital economy, eroding previous gains made in the journey of making Kenya a Silicon Savannah. https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/article/2001349701/how-bad-tech-po… Best regards Grace Githaiga -- Grace Githaiga Co-Convenor, Kenya ICT Action Network
