Good Morning Listers, 


As mentioned earlier by the KIGF- MAG Chair, we begin the online discussions today. 

Topic: Governing Data and Protecting Privacy 

The Kenya Data Protection Act was gazetted in 2019 ,
 An Act of Parliament to give effect to Article 31(c) and (d) of the Constitution of Kenya , 2010 (Right to privacy); 
- To establish the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner;
- To make provision for the regulation of the processing of personal data; 
- To provide for the rights of data subjects and obligations of data controllers and processors; and for connected purposes


To kick off these discussions, we ask; 

1. As a lister how safe do you feel about the safety of your personal data online?What do you think could be done better to improve the protection of data online?
2. How safe are children and persons with disabilities on their data privacy?
