[kictanet] Day 2- Policy and Regulatory Framework on Privacy and Data Protection

[william mathenge]

> Hi listers,


The rights as provided are quite progressive and commendable. However, one
cannot help to but ask, what remedies are available for a data subject?
The Act criminalizes the various ways of misappropriating data which is an
effective deterrent. All the same, it would be prudent in my humble opinion
to include the right to compensation/ damages to the victims of such abuse
of data. This would not only further deter the violation of a data
subject's rights but would also provide a legislative basis for
indemnifying the data subject for any damages sustained from such
violations.

Kind Regards,
William.
