[kictanet] Data Protection & Residency

[Admin CampusCiti]

Personally I'm surprised that we are yet to have a Data Protection Law in this country. This disconnect between policy, regulation and the reality on the ground is scary. Reminds of the Government official defending the fact that we have hotels and not enough stadiums so we should have hosted the Africa CAF Championships!!
