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

Thu May 31 02:17:04 EAT 2018

Hi all,

Jack, please see attached.  As Eng. Obam states, we should go further and
consider the Kenyan context specifically and how to improve our own data
protection landscape. For organisations offering services in the EU, or
sharing personal data with EU businesses, it will be important to engage
with data privacy specialists to ensure compliance, and maintain standards
that will allow European businesses to continue engaging with them. Until
we have a data protection law in force, this will be done at an
organisational level, based on the level of exposure.

Kind regards,
Juliet
