<div dir="ltr"><div>Goodmorning Listers,</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks <a class="gmail_plusreply" id="plusReplyChip-2" href="mailto:judyokite@gmail.com" tabindex="-1">@Judy Okite</a> for kickstarting the discussion. For starters i have observed that lately the number of Socially Engineered emails i am receiving is at an all time high. Spam calls also seem to be on the rise. It looks like scammers have realized that the new field of play is the Internet as such i am increasingly weary about engaging in e-commerce transactions online especially using public networks.</div><div><br></div><div>I would be interested in knowing the current statistics in so far as Internet related fraud is concerned and how many people have actually been charged for perpetrating such acts. Maybe the Ke-CIRT team can assist us with the statistics.</div><div><br></div><div>The same concern applies to the second question. Children are ever ahead of adults in discovering and using tech applications and tool. The Communications Authority has been running a Child Online Protection program for a while and i would be keen to know the current state of play in so far as data protection is concerned. <a class="gmail_plusreply" id="plusReplyChip-4" href="mailto:lillian@watotowatchnetwork.org" tabindex="-1">@Lillian</a> recently posted an article from Human Rights Watch on misuse of data by companies targeting children, it would be interesting to hear if any measures have been taken by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner to curb this.</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 22, 2022 at 5:08 AM Judy Okite via KICTANet <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><h1 style="margin:0px"><span style="font-weight:normal"><font size="2" face="verdana, sans-serif">Good Morning Listers, </font></span></h1><div><span style="font-weight:normal"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div><span style="font-weight:normal"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">As mentioned earlier by the KIGF- MAG Chair, we begin the online discussions today. </font></span></div><div><span style="font-weight:normal"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div><b><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Topic: Governing Data and Protecting Privacy </font></b></div><div><span style="font-weight:normal"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div><span style="font-weight:normal"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">The<a href="https://www.odpc.go.ke/dpa-act/" target="_blank"> Kenya Data Protection Act </a>was gazetted in 2019 ,</font></span></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-weight:normal"> </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">An Act of Parliament to give effect to Article 31(c) and (d) of the Constitution of Kenya , 2010 (Right to privacy); </span></font></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">- To establish the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner;</font></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">- To make provision for the regulation of the processing of personal data; </font></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">- To provide for the rights of data subjects and obligations of data controllers and processors; and for connected purposes</font></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(58,57,58)"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">To kick off these discussions, we ask; </span></div><div><span style="background-color:transparent;white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:transparent;white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">1.
