Listers, Paul Kukubo posted this a couple of weeks ago on the list "AS I write this I am sitting in a forum organized by the ISACA Kenya Chapter to discuss these two draft bills. At this meeting we have a representative from CIC. The draft bills are on the CIC website. Lister's should be made aware of this process which is important as part ofthe constitutional implementation. When the act is passed it will improve our profile as a destination for data processing. As we speak there is a proposal in the EU law that would make it illegal for data to flow to countries that don't have data protection in place. *This has several implications.* Also, in a networked world, analysst indicate that the end game will be that there will be global centers of excellence in data processing. Indeed multinationals are consolidating data centres globally. Submissions have been made by national council for law reporting, CIC, Kenya bankers association. Regards Paul Kukubo" Questions 1. What needs to be done for the Freedom of Information and data protection bills to be implemented and how can stakeholders be involved in the process? 2. Paul talks about the proposal in the EU law to make it illegal for data to flow to countries that don't have data protection in place what implications will this move have for our country and how can this be mitigated?
