Grace, listers. That approach will ultimately certainly fail because Data Protection is not just a local matter. It is an international matter whose underlying theme is privacy. The subject of privacy has been substantially ventilated by UN, EU and even AU. The legal basis is quite solid and is unlikely to be shaken by private interests. In any case, even if a weak law is passed, it will certainly fail the "Adequacy Test" and will quickly be amended.

Major firms have opposed proposals to limit how they use personal data from millions of Kenyans, threatening the implementation of robust data protection laws. 

The companies, including multinationals want unfettered access to the data they have on their customers, some of which may have been collected without users’ knowledge.
