Dear Listers The review of the Tandaa Digital Content Grant is now over. We are proud to announce the shortlisted candidates. We received excellent projects this year and the consensus of the reviewers is that there is no shortage of good ideas in Kenya. We know that many applicants to the Tandaa Digital Content Grant will be disappointed when they do not see their name on the shortlist. We received over 700 proposals and had to narrow them down to just 150. It was a very difficult task for the reviewers. There are hundreds of excellent ideas submitted in responce to the Call for Proposals. http://www.ict.go.ke/index.php/component/content/article/74-books/384-short… The Kenya ICT Board congratulates all applicants for their effort and encourages all who applied to pursue their ideas with passion and determination. - See full list of shortlisted applicants<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=s7ex7gdab&et=1108063345975&s=2&e=00183IJRuTk-…> Training All shortlisted applicants are invited to a free business plan training at Strathmore Univeristy.

E-Commerce in Kenya
by John Doe 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hello Skunks, A question here. If I am running an online business in Kenya say a kenyan facebook or a site that collects user information, are there laws that govern what I can do with the user information? Can I be held liable if for example users on my portal/platform use it to mobilise each other to cause damage to property or defame someone? What is the best ownership structure for such a business from a legal point of view? Thanks.

How do I claim a stolen laptop barely two weeks after insurance? Can I lodge a claim now or do I suffer in silence? Peter ---------------- Don't wait for success; hunt it down like there's no tomorrow.
