Center for Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law at the Strathmore University invites you to participate in the roundtable discussion on Thursday 9th October 2014 from 9Am to 1230PM at the Strathmore University, Nairobi.
Given the wide scope of the Convention, your participation is critical to inform the appropriate nationalization of this legislation.
The African Union adopted the
Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection Convention (AUCyC)
in June 2014 seeking to harmonize the various laws in respective
African Countries for enhanced cooperation in cyberspace. As Kenya
embarks on the ratification process and given the wide scope of the
Convention, it is critical that as many actors as possible be involved
to bring in diverse perspectives on the Convention.
This session
will present the legislative procedures to date and the anticipated
ratification in Kenya. This will be followed by a discussion on the
probable impacts of the continental document on the local scene and
proposals by participants on the ratification process going forward.
