[kictanet] Data Protection Bill

Wed Jan 10 15:36:02 EAT 2018

Wow!

According the data from UNCTAD Website 23 (43%)  African countries have put in place comprehensive privacy and data protection laws. Kenya led by CIPIT contested the adoption of the AU Convention on cyber security and data protection in 2014 and lobbied other Member States to reject it. Does it mean that up to now we don’t even have anything in the kitchen? I understand the data protection bill 2009 was copied verbatim from the EU Directive 95/46/EC on the Protection of Personal Data which is being replaced by the GDPR as from May 2018. Don’t you think we need to do something in the absence of anything cooking?

I think the bill lapsed?  

It should be a critically bill to be passed. I’m hoping that the community can review this bill again and possibly make representations to the house.
