[kictanet] The European Union General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR)

Thu May 31 00:11:48 EAT 2018

I agree with Eng. Kariuki , the implications of GDPR are immense. The discussions ought to match the gravity of the impact of GDPR. E.g. What do we, as Kenya, have to do not to be negatively affected by the European regulations.? 

I know we don’t have privacy and personal data protection legislation.
