After several attempts, Kenya's Data Protection Bill was published in May, and open to public participation this month. The Bill spells out principles of data protection with the aim of giving effect to Article 31 of the country's Constitution which guarantees protection of privacy. During engagement, stakeholders pointed out that the Bill needed to be more future looking as the country had an emerging data economy. They therefore recommended clarity on among others limitation of rights, data portability and data produced through automated processes such as machine learning.
