Thank you for organizing such a timely conversation. It will be 3am in Toronto and I do not have a basement or attic to use at such an ungodly hour :) I hope next time I can make it, and wishing you all the best. --- Moses Karanja On 2021-09-24 8:56 a.m., Wamathai (HapaKenya) via KICTANet wrote:
Dear Colleagues,

Technology companies and especially tech startups have the potential to play significant positive contributions to the promotion and protection of human rights. In Kenya, the issue of data protection and data privacy is a matter of concern for many despite having the existence of the Data Protection Act.
How do we ensure that the organisations trusted with the personal data use the best data protection practices? We will also learn more on what the Data Commissioner office has been doing to operationalize the Data Protection law in Kenya.
You are welcome to join us and your participation will also be highly appreciated.
