Interesting Question Meshack and great Discussion points by Ali and Kathy.

On that note, I think it would be paramount for In house counsels of such
Companies to get a training on Data Protection and the GDPR.

Lawyers Hub <https://lawyershub.org/> presents a CPD Accredited lecture on
Wednesday the 22nd of January at 6pm.

Topic: Data Protection Act & GDPR - Opportunities for Kenyan Lawyers.
Evening Event at the Lawyers Hub next Wednesday

1 CPD point will be awarded.  Costs is 2000/-  Payment details on the
poster.

For inquiries call 0794739001 / 0794739003  Email: trainings at lawyershub.ke

Looking forward to hearing to seeing and engaging KICTAnet Community on
Wednesday!
