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
