[kictanet] (Do NOT) Forget ICT Bill. The law is there....

[Alex Gakuru]

I am informed, the Gazette Notice refers to ICT policy,  KCA 1998 is still in force, perhaps "Do NOT Forget" should change to "MUST GET!" ICT Bill across? 

You can get a copy from Government Printers at Kshs 50/= a piece.

this suplimentary law/regulation/Gazettement.  However, I
doubt if it would be sufficient to comprehensively address
the other parts of eLegislation that are pending such as:

i) Cybercrime law
ii) eTransaction law
iii) Data Protection/Privacy law amongst others

The absence of substantive laws addressing the above areas
will continue to dilute our country's e-Readiness status. 
Prospective (e)-nvestors consider this a majore factor when
deciding where to place their digital investments.
