Which laws will need to be amended when data protection bill is passed?
Dear listers, The above question follows another review of the proposed data protection bill that lists several laws which will require amendment when the law is enacted. For example the Registration of Persons Act (ID Card law) will need an additional provision on how data protection will apply to ID data. Other laws listed include: Registration of Persons Act; Births and Deaths Act; Capital Markets Act; and Access to Information Act. Are there other laws that are missing from this list? Please let us know even where you are not sure of the precise name of the Act. Thanks in advance, Grace -- Grace Mutung'u Skype: gracebomu @Bomu PGP ID : 0x33A3450F

Grace, Thanks for the update. Have we considered the term: Information Commissioner? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_commissioner The role of information commissioner differs from nation to nation. Most commonly it is a title given to a government regulator in the fields of freedom of information and the protection of personal data in the widest sense. The office often functions as a specialist ombudsman service.

Hi guys, how about collapsing all the data/information stewardship rights and obligations under one commission like the proposed commissioner in the right to access to information act? This one may have conflicting roles and functions with the commissioner proposed in our amendments. Would it be more viable to have one commission for all data, information and related functions and responsibility so they are able to coherently impliment a balance of the conflicting interests under one roof? I think multiple bodies may just compete and create a longer and unpleasant user journey around information rights and obligations of both private and public persons and institutions.

Thomas, How about one Information Commissioner with deputies enforcing different laws/departments? (i) Freedom of Information - to enable Access to Information (ii) Data Protection - to ensure Privacy + work with the Kenya ICT Authority to enforce Cyber security. Link I posted previously mentions what different countries (such as Australia and Germany) have done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_commissioner *Australia* The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has functions
relating to freedom of information and privacy, as well as information policy. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner, which was the national privacy regulator, was integrated into the OAIC on 1 November 2010. There are three independent commissioners in the OAIC: the Australian Information Commissioner, the Freedom of Information Commissioner, and the Privacy Commissioner.
*Germany* The Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
(FfDF) is the federal commissioner not only for data protection but also (since commencement of the German Freedom of Information Act on January 1, 2006) for freedom of information.

Muraya That makes a lot of sense. The idea is to have some level of mandatory coordination and reference in the implementation of the rights and responsibility of both citizen and state in regards to access, protection and custody of data. It is a matter of time before these roles and functions cross lines and having them under one roof helps to iron the issues out more effectively. On Thu, Sep 27, 2018, 3:18 PM S.M.

Thomas,
How about one Information Commissioner with deputies enforcing different laws/departments?
(i) Freedom of Information - to enable Access to Information (ii) Data Protection - to ensure Privacy + work with the Kenya ICT Authority to enforce Cyber security.
Link I posted previously mentions what different countries (such as Australia and Germany) have done.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_commissioner
*Australia*
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has functions
relating to freedom of information and privacy, as well as information policy. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner, which was the national privacy regulator, was integrated into the OAIC on 1 November 2010. There are three independent commissioners in the OAIC: the Australian Information Commissioner, the Freedom of Information Commissioner, and the Privacy Commissioner.
*Germany*
The Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
(FfDF) is the federal commissioner not only for data protection but also (since commencement of the German Freedom of Information Act on January 1, 2006) for freedom of information.

Hi guys,
how about collapsing all the data/information stewardship rights and obligations under one commission like the proposed commissioner in the right to access to information act?
This one may have conflicting roles and functions with the commissioner proposed in our amendments.
Would it be more viable to have one commission for all data, information and related functions and responsibility so they are able to coherently impliment a balance of the conflicting interests under one roof?
I think multiple bodies may just compete and create a longer and unpleasant user journey around information rights and obligations of both private and public persons and institutions.

Grace,
Thanks for the update.
Have we considered the term: Information Commissioner?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_commissioner The role of information commissioner differs from nation to nation. Most commonly it is a title given to a government regulator in the fields of freedom of information and the protection of personal data in the widest sense. The office often functions as a specialist ombudsman service.
Factoring our constitution expressly mentions Access to Information

Thanks @BonnyM. Noted
@S.M. Muraya <murigi.muraya@gmail.com> it is a proposal to transfer the implementation of the access to information Act to the data protection commissioner which is the institutional framework under the bill.
---------- Access to Information Act (Act No 31 of 2016) 1. The Act is amended in section 2 by—
(a) Inserting a the following new definition in appropriate chronological order “Data Commissioner” means a Data Protection Commissioner established under the Data Protection Act, 2018”
(b)deleting the definition of the word “Commission”
2. The Act is amended by deleting the word "Commission" wherever it appears and substituting therefor the expression “Data Commissioner”

Grace,
How/Why does the Access to Information act need to be reviewed? What did the reviewers note?

Dear listers, The above question follows another review of the proposed data protection bill that lists several laws which will require amendment when the law is enacted. For example the Registration of Persons Act (ID Card law) will need an additional provision on how data protection will apply to ID data. Other laws listed include: Registration of Persons Act; Births and Deaths Act; Capital Markets Act; and Access to Information Act.
Are there other laws that are missing from this list? Please let us know even where you are not sure of the precise name of the Act.
Thanks in advance,
Grace
