[kictanet] Which laws will need to be amended when data protection bill is passed?

[S.M. Muraya]

Grace,

Thanks for the update.

Have we considered the term: Information Commissioner?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_commissioner
The role of information commissioner differs from nation to nation. Most
commonly it is a title given to a government regulator in the fields of
freedom of information and the protection of personal data in the widest
sense. The office often functions as a specialist ombudsman service.

Factoring our constitution expressly mentions Access to Information
