Regarding sensitive data, there is need to increase the scope to Mobile number, ID, Email, and postal addresses. Using someones number, you can retrive a lot of meta data about the person. Using an email, you can retrieve a lot of metadata that you wouldn't have had access to physically. There is a lot of fraud happening, including identity theft that use your ID, Number or email. So they need to be included as part of sensitive data. 

Another key thing is increasing the jurisdiction to cover  Kenyans no matter where they are. A lot of Kenyans are transacting online, which increases the level at which their data is saved and used for and against them. It's important that they are notified and agree or disagree with the service provider and not be held hostage to not using the service if they do not agree. And the purpose to which their data is used for.

@Michael, on the issue of transfers outside Kenya, I foresee the need for international agreement on what constitutes basic data protection. Otherwise, some data processors will be able to build different products for different jurisdictions while those who cannot will be limited in how they can expand.
To balance the question of platform as a service with @Muraya's comments on building the local data economy, maybe we need more evidence to determine what our local capacity is. In addition, the policy needed to rope in other stakeholders who are important for data protection, including the power sector (KPLC etc), academia on skills gaps and KEBS et al on standards, just to mention but a few.
I hear you on the lack of incentive on notification and note this under the discussion on offences as one way to remedy this wold be to create an offence of not notifying in case of a breach.

Listers,

Regarding part IV of the draft I have noted the following points.

1. Transfers outside Kenya.

Very many (if not most) Kenyan websites/systems are hosted internationally, AWS, Rackspace, and all the usual suspects are widely used. As a result very often personal data is currently transfered internationally.

My issue here is what constitutes "proff" that a foreign nation have "adequate" data protection laws? My first thought on this issue is that Europe due to GDPR would be considered "adequate", whereas United States would NOT be considered having "adequate" laws.

If this is the case/correct interpretation then this law will have a significant cost (money and time) for all the ones currently hosting in US who have to migrate their setup.


2. Platform as a service

In situations where your system is build on a global company's "platform as a service" (Google being the prime example) you have very little control of "where" the personal data is "transfered" - as Google have caching servers almost everywhere, essentially the data would/could be copied all over the globe.

The limitation on international transfers - does it in-effect kill innovations that utilize global infrastructure such as this ?


3. Lack of incentive for notification

As I have mentioned elsewhere I think it is great that any breach that should happen requires that the affected person(s) be notified. However I feel that the draft very much creates no incentive for data-processors to actually full-fill this requirement - In-fact the way I read it it is very very tempting for processors who are subject to a breach to keep very quiet (i.e. they are committing an offence if they are subject to a breach - so better make sure no-one ever finds out that you lost some data).


Kind regards
Michael Pedersen

General obligations for controllers and processors are listed in part IV and they include upholding the principles of data protection, protecting the rights of the data subject, duty to notify the subject about processing and breaches, acquisition of consent and security safeguards as regards personal data. It would be interesting to hear from data controllers and processors, views on:

Welcome to the discussion. Please point out any issues in the bill that are either very good and should be retained or problematic and should be improved. Tujadiliane.
