Hi Ali,

Bearing in mind willing buyer, willing seller, don't you think there
are clients who are happy with the current state of things? should we
penalize businesses for infringement of rights that have been
willingly waived by clients?

All

In relation to this, I discovered today that a lot of the privacy issues are

allegedly being violated by a certain global brand.

Google, could have a record of everything you have said around it for years,

and you can listen to it yourself.

The company quietly records many of the conversations that people have

around its products.

The feature works as a way of letting people search with their voice, and

storing those recordings presumably lets Google improve its language

recognition tools as well as the results that it gives to people.

In relation to this discussion we would love to have a comment from the

Ministry and Google.

Hi Barrack

A great comment has been posted on the Jadii Platform

June Tessy - a day ago Do we really need another 'specialized' agency

yet

there are already existing units in Government and Regulators that are

mandated to deal with these like the National Intelligence Service,

ICTA,

CA Perhaps building onto the already existing units in terms of

resources

and capacity may be more sustainable

Listers,

Many thanks to those who contribued to day 6 discussions. The thread

is still open, we also encourage listers to edit the policy directly

on the Jadili platform

(http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy).

Today we focus on the following areas:

*Online Citizen Safety,

*Child Protection

*Privacy issues

*Security business transactions (Info-Security)

*Security & Reliability of Critical ICT infrastructure

The Background:

The more we automate and rely on digital services, the more vulnerable

we become as a society to cybercrime and other threats facing the

digital society.

The regulator has a Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), the

industry (TESPOK) also has a CERT, the Department of Criminal

Investigation & National Intelligence also have CERT. What is not

clear is whether there is a framework to have these teams working

together and their capacity to counter a full-blown cyber attack

against our digital national assets.

Additionally, the tension between citizen privacy and national

security, citizen privacy and business (profit) concerns remain

perhaps due to lack of Data Protection, eTransaction and other laws.

Finally, special protection for vulnerable groups (children) going

online is non-existent.

What needs to be done around these issues?

Kindly submit your views.

Best Regards
