Credit will be accessible through various lending platforms such as M-PESA. Out of curiosity I can not help but wonder what are the data protection implications of the system. For example what data will be used as baseline to determine your credit worthiness. Is it data held by government, credit reference bureaus, the lending companies or we are starting from scratch ? Who will be the main data controller of the data collected is it government is it the companies. If it’s the government how much data will they have on Kenya and their credit worthiness and what are the implications of that. Who will store this data? Are their any data sharing agreements in place between the entities involved. What data subject rights have been provided and does the consumer understand them? It will be intresting to see how this develops and the discussion from a data protection perspective.<u></u><u></u></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><a href="https://nation.africa/kenya/news/game-changer-president-unveils-hustler-fund-today-4037806" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nation.africa/kenya/news/game-changer-president-unveils-hustler-fund-today-4037806</a><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">-- <u></u><u></u></span></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Kind Regards<u></u><u></u></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Tevin Mwenda Gitonga<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">_______________________________________________<br>KICTANet mailing list<br><a href="mailto:KICTANet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">KICTANet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a><br><a href="https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet</a><br><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/KICTANet/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/KICTANet/</a><br>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KICTANet/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/KICTANet/</a><br>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/KICTANet/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/KICTANet/</a><br>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/kictanet/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/kictanet/</a><br>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbcLVjnPtTGBEeYLGUb2Yow/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbcLVjnPtTGBEeYLGUb2Yow/</a><br><br>Unsubscribe or change your options at <a href="https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/awatila%40gmail.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/awatila%40gmail.com</a><u></u><u></u></span></p><div id="m_-7304084982672418217m_-5259328207595525685m_-5457497507583434191m_6528262354811406890ydp2c3b1a0eyiv6524927209yqtfd44446"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><br><br><br>KICTANet is a multi-stakeholder Think Tank for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation.
