Hi Victor, 

Kenya through various innovations has a vibrant FinTech Ecosystem, it would be great to have a  FinTech session where we can have interactions with various thought leaders.

Kind regards,

Proposed topic: Electoral operations and technology

As the ICT community, we need to understand comprehensively what efforts have been made in acquisition and deployment of electoral technologies. Further scrutinize the key features of the Kenya Integrated Elections Management Information System and how it resolves the technological changes experienced in past elections.

Best,

Kenya registered about 19,700,000 [1] voters to participate in the
2017 elections. As part of the registration, all voters gave their
biometrics [2], which included all fingerprints, and facial features.
All this data will be preloaded on the voting devices that will be
distributed in over 45,000 polling stations. Assuming two devices per
polling station, that is 90,000 devices in the hands of 90,000
different people with access to biometric data of 19.7 million
Kenyans.

IEBC gave a contract to a French firm to implement the different
aspects of electronic voting. Is the 18m biometric information now in
the hands of foreign agents? Are there any data protection mechanisms
to secure biometric data of the citizenry?

This is why Data protection and privacy laws should be a big debate
going forward. The MAG can find a proper way of framing these
concerns.

Dear Victor,
It would be very interesting to get it from IEBC on the
reliability/security/robustness/usability of their systems. Taking note that
it is quite hard for kenyans to use the IEBC website perform basic functions
like applying for the recently advertised vacancies. Are we expecting a
repeat of 2013 elections where the VBR kits kept failing? What measures have
they put in place?
I would also like to to hear from social network reps e.g
Facebook/Whatsapp on the issue of fake news in the Kenyan elections.
Regards,
R.Ojino

Hi Victor,
I would very much be interested in a discussion on Internet shutdown(s)
in Kenya in the upcoming election- their possibility, legal basis, actors
etc. I would hope to hear from the regulator, NCIC, Safaricom, LSK and users
on their view about shutdowns. It would also be great to hear from the Af*
community on the outcome of the anti-shutdown proposal that was considered
during the recently concluded Africa Internet Summit.
Looking forward,

Greetings Listers,

The Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) is an annual meeting that
brings together various stakeholder groups to dialogue on ICT and Internet
policy. While the discussions give soft policy outcomes, KIGF is a knowledge
sharing platform that informs and inspires policy actors in both the public
and private sectors. The national forum also feeds into the regional and
global IGFs through a chain of reporting and representation to the regional
and global IGFs to ensure a bottom up Internet policy development processes
and a strong link between global internet policies and the national one.
This year, the meeting shall be held on the 6 July 2017 at the Laico Hotel,
Nairobi.

On behalf of the local Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), we'd be
interested to hear your views on the topics that you think ought to be
discussed during this year's KIGF17.

To enable us track them, kindly share them in the format below:

a) Proposed topic(s):

E.g. Positive Social media use during elections

b) Why the topic is important or relevant:

E.g. We have the general election in August and since social media is
playing a key role in public engagement and expression during the elections,
it would be important to discuss the potential risk for abuse or shutdowns
and make recommendations to encourage positive social media use.

c) Proposed speakers (if any):

E.g. Would wish to hear from an MP, NCIC, BAKE, or Facebook

We are working on a tight schedule, but we'll be happy to receive your
feedback by the 14 June 2017.

We shall then compile your input and prepare the topics for the pre-IGF
online discussion scheduled for 19 - 23 June and the final IGF Programme.
We'll also get in touch with the proposed speakers to bring them into the
room.

Here's the Kenya IGF 2016 Report for your review.
