For example, there was advocacy for inculcation of data minimisation. </li><li>Concerns were raised that if proper mechanisms were not put in place, there was a risk of small data holders such as MSMEs not being able to comply and the bill being a risk to innovation and growth. </li><li>Data subject rights as provided for in the bill were viewed as progressive. While there was debate on whether the right to be forgotten should be absolute, listers recommended for this right with regard to research data as well as data about children. </li><li>While discussing data processors and controllers, listers debated on data sovereignty and data residency and gave input on how Kenya could be better facilitative of a local data economy. Listers also mused on decisions made through automated means and how developments in artificial intelligence impacted on personal privacy. </li><li>On offences, some listers thought that they were not reflective of data economy activities and that while they may be punitive to small players, they were lenient for larger ones. Hence they recommended graduated penalties. Listers also recommended for civil remedies to injured persons under this law. Further, areas that did not have specified penalties, for example not notifying a data subject in case of a breach, were flagged out. </li><li>The proposed institutional framework- office of the DPC came with concerns on financing the office, powers of the DPC as well as independence of the office. </li><li>Finally, on exemptions, there was a recommendation for more specificity to avoid eating into privacy of data subjects. </li></ul><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We shall translate these points, together with those shared during the face to face forum at Strathmore University into submissions to the Task Force. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We appreciate all those who gave input, asked questions and followed the discussion to learn. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Please point out other areas we may have missed in this summary and ask your questions- At least two members of the Task Force are here to attend to you. <br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"> <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="m_-973587394951288559m_4060008233302683719gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Grace Mutung'u <br>Skype: gracebomu<br>@Bomu<br><span style="font-size:12.8px">PGP ID : 0x33A3450F</span><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
