Data Protection & Residency
Looking beyond the politics, interesting comments here. http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Raila-Odinga-drags-Safaricom-into-poll-dispute/... With increasing demands for local data termination points, sooner (2017) or later (2018) a court order is going to require Data Residency in Kenya. Where are we on the Data Protection and Residency Act? It may not go well for technocrats caught off guard by a court order, inevitably coming.
Personally I'm surprised that we are yet to have a Data Protection Law in this country. This disconnect between policy, regulation and the reality on the ground is scary. Reminds of the Government official defending the fact that we have hotels and not enough stadiums so we should have hosted the Africa CAF Championships!!

Apart from data protection from a privacy (citizen) point of view we need to protect the integrity of data at go.ke locations/premises. Data redundancy is a condition created within a database or data storage technology in which the same piece of data is held in two separate places. This can mean two different fields within a single database, or two different spots in multiple software environments or platforms... https://www.techopedia.com/definition/18707/data-redundancy The Data Protection act must require data redundancy at different go.ke locations/premises. Data stored on paper must be digitized and stored (backed up) at different locations. *Some examples of fires (to destroy paper data storage) started after midnight (between 12.30am and 3am)* (i) 2004 - City Hall, Nairobi.. http://news.bbc.co. uk/2/hi/africa/3524855.stm (ii) 2014 - Kilifi .. https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000101263/crucial-documents-lost-as...

@Mwendwa, we *DO *need laws. After 20 years, we should know we need some laws to judge non performance with. Was in the CBD when the August 7, 1998 explosion occurred. Was at the site within 10 minutes after the blast. US marines were not at all casual when it came to securing their premises. Fortunately, that morning, needed to pass by an office first, so did not, as usual, pass the US embassy at 8 am, heading to the railway station :) On Sun, Feb 25, 2018 at 7:01 PM, Mwendwa Kivuva via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Good discussion Muraya and Kivuva, Legal frameworks and guidelines are great when public interest is at the core, in future , it might be good to ensure that that all new parliamentarians are taken to the Kenya School of Government for a compulsory 2 weeks induction course on Public Interest before they commence their work.

Dear Ali and Muraya,
I agree with you. I hope this time round we have members of parliament that can help us move the Data Protection agenda forward. Let us hope current politics will not affect this effort.

Personally I'm surprised that we are yet to have a Data Protection Law in this country. This disconnect between policy, regulation and the reality on the ground is scary. Reminds of the Government official defending the fact that we have hotels and not enough stadiums so we should have hosted
Africa CAF Championships!!

With increasing demands for local data termination points, sooner (2017) or later (2018) a court order is going to require Data Residency in Kenya.
Where are we on the Data Protection and Residency Act?
It may not go well for technocrats caught off guard by a court order, inevitably coming.

For about a decade now, Kenya has had the local talent, commitment and infrastructure to deliver on most demands below. The law should ban the political class from procuring foreign firms. Foreign firms should talk to local firms first. http://www.nation.co.ke/news/politics/Wafula-Chebukati-outlines-tough-demand... His conditions are also captured in the new contract. In her letter and in what could further deepen the standoff with Nasa, OT-Morpho opposed the decision by the chairman to open servers before the election day, arguing the move may compromise data security. “OT-Morpho would like to respectfully warn IEBC that opening access to servers, databases and logs prior to the elections might open security weaknesses. We would rather recommend that access to server and databases be provided after the Election Day. Anyhow, logs will be shared on a daily basis with IEBC. Agents should be allowed to review them at IEBC premises only,” Ms Charlanes wrote. On embedding external IT experts in the system, she said they do not object but say there is need to agree on their scope and role. Another frontier of clash is the decision not to have locally hosted backup system. *BACKUP SYSTEM* Mr Chebukati said the refusal to set a local backup system had landed them into problems when they could not fully comply with the Supreme Court orders to open up the servers for scrutiny. “One of the easiest things to do is setting up ‘real-time master/slave database replication’. We already have the infrastructure in place,” he suggests. Responding to conditions they have set out before they can participate in the polls, Mr Chebukati had promised Nasa that they would deploy a cloud server and a local backup system and that all these would adhere to the international standards. “OT-Morpho will only deliver RTS (Results Transmission System) on a cloud platform as for the August 8 elections,” Ms Charlanes said in a letter addressed to the chairman. The firm further informs Mr Chebukati that considering the limited time left to the date of polls, it is impossible to conduct a dry-run of results transmission as he had indicated to Nasa. *DRY-RUN* “Even though OT-Morpho was and remains willing to support such a dry-run, IEBC has to realise that conducting such an operation is hogging the RTS system for four days, so as to prepare, test, run and clean the system. In the current planning and considering the recent delays in receiving the SIM cards to start the KIEMS (Kenya Integrated Elections Management System) kits production as well as latest IEBC requirement, we fear we have no room any more for such an operation,” Ms charlanes had said. In a counter-argument, the IEBC chief says this needs not take four days but a shorter time. He also reminds them that the Commission is the boss and will define the terms of engagement. “Dry run is essential confidence building measure to assure our stakeholders on the integrity of our system. For example, it can be one kit per polling station per county live on television. Such an exercise well-co-ordinated can take less than two hours,” he argues. OT-Morpho also objected to the idea of initiating an external audit on grounds of limited time. Further, on plans by the commission to display all the forms 34B from constituencies, the firm says it is technologically impossible to do this given the bulky nature of the forms. *DATA CAPACITY* Mr Chebukati insists that the tech firm should enhance its data capacity to accommodate the bulk data. “Please not that since OT-Morpho are the ones who receive the forms 34A first, they must make them public. Text results without forms, shall not be allowed in whatever circumstances,” he tersely says. He instructs them to avoid a situation that happened in August where some 10,000 polling stations sent results without forms. OT-Morpho also say that based on IEBC specifications, the media cannot show live feed on verified results since there is no “mechanisms of verification of any kind of verification on the RTS platform before results sharing”. Mr Chebukati had written that the commission would provide access to accredited media houses to cover results announcements at all levels. Media will be encouraged to show a live feed of the verified results. Given the haphazard way with which the IEBC handled GPS technology last time, the chairman is also asking OT-Morpho to ensure that they activate the technology in a way that is easy to install locally.

Hi Muraya. Things will even become tougher with the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulations that is set to come into effect next year. Ali Hussein recently posted a brief developed by a local legal expert Juliet on the same. Be that as it may your wish is an ideal that can only be found in environments with value based leadership who will go at any length to promote local entrepreneurs. It is baffling to note that this companies don't even provide this services during the national electoral processes but do so in the global south. As is we have transactional leaders in all spheres of society who are only interested in what they get in return. Anyway, Kenya will rise again some day.

Barrack, The Cyber Crimes Bill/Act has moved Kenya forward, but more specifications (if not Acts) may be required to effect more *data protection* + *data residency* (processing) in Kenya (under certain conditions). It may also allow back up of data outside Kenya under certain (performance based) conditions or treaties. Interesting links below indicating how Data Protection Acts are used to protect citizens/nations. https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/en/news/dutch-dpa-microsoft-breaches-d... https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-blogs/2017/07/roya... The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new law that will replace the Data Protection Act 1998 and will apply in the UK from 25 May 2018. The government has confirmed that the UK’s decision to leave the EU will not affect the commencement of the GDPR. https://rcpmag.com/articles/2017/10/13/windows-10-vs-dutch-privacy-laws.aspx On Sun, Oct 1, 2017 at 7:54 PM, Barrack Otieno <otieno.barrack@gmail.com> wrote:
