[kictanet] Day 2 of Talk to the Senate (2017-2022 Priorities)

[Grace Mutung'u (Bomu)]

Hi Kanini,
I would start by asking for a good Data Protection Law. As we digitilise
more, collect more data at both national and subnational level, we should
assure that it is processed in a manner that protects the privacy of
individuals. This can only be done if we have general standards across the
whole country.
The other thing I would ask, is that counties are given a clear role in the
ICT policy. If the policy gets before the Senate, they should add the
recommendations given here on counties' role in infrastructure, info
collection, dissemination, human capacity development etc
One specific oversight already canvassed by Ali is e-citizen. The people of
the counties are suffering from poor services on this one.

Regards,
