<p dir="ltr">The commentary response to the article by Kiringai kamau articulates the needed paradigm shift in data. Safaricom etc are providing consumer services which we willingly subscribe to. Collection of data is incidental part of that service delivery process.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Individuals own their data. Where are theĀ famed developers to make a personal data repository app? One could even make money selling personal data to Bobby and others in data science vocations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As for civic data, as long as tax money was involved in its collection....there should and will be a framework of obtaining that data. Bureau of statistics website has quite some data gems but one needs 7th sense to navigate and obtain the data..e.g. the 2009 census data.</p>
