Hi Listers,

I will second Grace on the need for a well prepared data protection law, as we can see the EU are on with the GDPR that will be implemented starting May 2018.

This needs to be a priority matter as we become more data aware, there is lots of data being processed daily within the Kenyan ecosystem and it is important to have an equally good data protection law that can complement this to ensure that both users and the organizations respect the privacy of users.

Regards
Rop

Hi Kanini,
I would start by asking for a good Data Protection Law. As we digitilise
more, collect more data at both national and subnational level, we should
assure that it is processed in a manner that protects the privacy of
individuals. This can only be done if we have general standards across the
whole country.
The other thing I would ask, is that counties are given a clear role in the
ICT policy. If the policy gets before the Senate, they should add the
recommendations given here on counties' role in infrastructure, info
collection, dissemination, human capacity development etc
One specific oversight already canvassed by Ali is e-citizen. The people of
the counties are suffering from poor services on this one.

Regards,

Interesting angle Julius. And that is indeed something that can be quickly
fixed via amendment.
