@Michael, on the issue of transfers outside Kenya, I foresee the need for
international agreement on what constitutes basic data protection.
Otherwise, some data processors will be able to build different products
for different jurisdictions while those who cannot will be limited in how
they can expand.
To balance the question of platform as a service with @Muraya’s comments on
building the local data economy, maybe we need more evidence to determine
what our local capacity is. In addition, the policy needed to rope in other
stakeholders who are important for data protection, including the power
sector (KPLC etc), academia on skills gaps and KEBS et al on standards,
just to mention but a few.
I hear you on the lack of incentive on notification and note this under the
discussion on offences as one way to remedy this wold be to create an
offence of not notifying in case of a breach.
