[Hannington Oduor]

Data protection is a journey that we must travel, the earlier we begin the
better, it was more obvious that dissenting voices had to be heard but
listening keenly you realize they are from a specific quarter, this should
not stop the movement and the onus is to all stake holders to ensure that
the journey does not stop coz the benefits of data protection out weigh its
absence.
