Objective O7: Enhance data access and protection stewardship of public data and information. ‘Strategy S1: Develop and institutionalize legal framework to enable data and information sharing across Governments’ Strategy S1: Develop and institutionalize legal framework to enable data and information sharing across Governments (Regional, National, and County), citizens, and MDA’s. To facilitate the integration of data from the various MDA’s, it is essential to implement a legal framework and business processes to support, promote and spur innovation using the public data repository, ensuring operational efficiency by reengineering processes in Government to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and hence enhance efficiency. This will enhance the current open data initiatives, promote the transparency, and create wealth from knowledge in the repositories. 05 pillars Strategy S2: Develop and institutionalize a middleware platform to enable secure data and information access. This is a soft infrastructure that allows businesses, citizens and other stakeholders to securely access e-government applications, data repositories and information to meet their needs, including analytical and other business needs (see Figure 11 above). Strategy S3: Develop a cyber security policy. Although there is already a draft cyber security Master Plan, it is necessary to develop a cyber security policy. Such a policy will guide the strengthening of the existing cyber security statutes. The flagship projects to be implemented by 2017/2018 are: a) Companies registry database as part of establishments’ data hub b) Integrated persons or civil registry database as part of persons’ data hub c) National spatial data infrastructure (NSDI) as part of land’s data hub d) Assets registry database as part of assets’ data hub (e.g. vehicles, buildings, etc.) ..66 .................................................................................................................Towards ...............a...Digital .............Kenya ............ 67 Towards a Digital Kenya ..............................................................................................................................................................
