Dear Listers, 

Please find on this link a report on freedom online in the just concluded election period. 

In a nutshell: 

• Kenya undertook a big experiment on delivery of public services through mobile Internet. 
  
• Notably, the country did not have an Internet shutdown unlike many other African countries that have had election related disruptions in the last three years
  
• There was massive mis and disinformation that kept many online to counter, discount and discuss social problems in the country. 
  
•  While online rights are guaranteed, trends towards information controls for example election results are a cause for concern, hence the title of the report, Moving forward while looking back
  

Going forward, there is need for discussion on Kenya's strategy in the data economy including aspects such whether perceive data as a national asset, our preparedness for the data economy, equitable sharing of benefits from data such as election data and of course protection of personal data. 

Regards,
