Data Privacy in Kenya
by Derrick Wesonga 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Hi Skunks, Does any one have an idea of laws covering user data protection in Kenya, in particular user data collected online? What am looking for are laws governing user data collected by institutions such as phone numbers and emails companies collect during sign up. So far I have seen http://info.mzalendo.com/media_root/file_archive/Access_to_Information_Bill… and http://kenyalaw.org/kl/fileadmin/pdfdownloads/bills/2016/CyberSecurityandPr… which apparently was not passed, but it does not cover business organizations. regards, Derrick

Re: [Skunkworks] [kictanet] Call for input into Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2017 and Election Offences (Amendment) Bill 2017
by Barrack Otieno 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Listers, Proposed election amendments make electronic results irrelevant In Summary Specifically, proposed amendments kill the need to have electronic results, given that the manual ones are legally authoritative. To bury the ICT agenda for good, the amendments propose total mutilation of Section 44 (use of technology) by deleting subsections 5, 6, 7 & 8. One gets the feeling that these amendments are more geared towards supporting ICT-illiterate lawyers in the next presidential petition. read more: http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/walubengo/2274560-4124394-k96oxc/in… On 10/4/17, Lawrence Dinga, CISSP via kictanet <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: > I completely concur with the views so far. > > It is evident from the current mood of the country that the amendments to > the Election Laws are not all inclusive and the general feeling is that it > is more of a political game undermining the electoral commission ahead of > the repeat presidential elections.
