[kictanet] Private data for jobs

[Kathy Mwai]

Hi Meshack,

My feeling is that at least they have the decency to ask her consent. This
is because these kinds of investigations are happening whether we have been
told they will or not. And the other perspective is that upon employment,
we give out as much information as possible obviously because well, we need
the job and we don't at that point hold back any information. So I wouldn't
perceive it as the Company buying information...
