I like the Point raised by Kathy Mwai.Most Corporates do not employ trained Communication Experts.A Comms expert would have developed a Communication Policy for the University which guides on Public Relations  and Adverting such as in  this Case.

The same expert would have guided the University on the end-to end of using third parties to endorse their Brand.

Most Corporates have a dim view of Communication expertise and sadly it can get to where Kabianga now finds itself.

And the need for this is now urgent and critical as we move into the Digital Space where Digital citizens have very peculiar Communication Needs and Behaviours.

I belong to the Public Relations Society of Kenya and a section of us would like to have a Webinair around this.Please feel feel to let me know if you would like to share your thoughts in that Conversation Next week,through liliankimeto@gmail.com

It's not just about privacy. It's about monetization in the digital world. We are going to see a lot of these unless corporates start appreciating the New Digital World Order. In another life, 😀 models were used to signing release forms based on geographical parameters - for example, 'you can only use my image in Kenya and East Africa'. Now we are seeing release forms speaking of global coverage and separate digital platforms coverage. 

Watu Walipe pesa! 😀

Dear Listers,

A court has ordered the University of Kabianga to pay a former  University of Nairobi student Sh500,000 for using his image in online marketing and soliciting funds from a regional bank without his consent.

Sitting at the High Court in Kericho, Justice Asenath Ongeri declared that the university violated fundamental rights to privacy and human dignity by publishing an image of Mr Shimlon Mwangi Kuria without his express consent.


Are we in a privacy awakening? What is the importance of these decisions to the right to privacy and do they reveal an awareness gap on privacy rights, especially on the part of higher learning institutions? How do we boost awareness among these institutions?
