Request for Feedback: 5-Year Reflections on Kenya’s Data Protection Act.

Day 1 of our discussion will center on the Legal framework surrounding Data
Protection. We invite you to share your insights and reflections on the

require improvement or updating? Please provide supporting

2. *Please provide three (3) recommendations for amendments to the Data
Protection Act, and its attendant regulations.*

Your expertise and input are essential in this endeavor, and we value your

We look forward to your participation.

Kind regards,

Linda Gichohi.
