A WAKILI.TECH PUBLICATION
Exploring the intersection of law, data and technology in Kenya and beyond.
Independent perspectives. Thoughtful analysis.
Data protection is more than a checklist. As Kenya’s digital economy grows, the real question is how organisations can translate legal obligations into meaningful safeguards for the people whose data they hold.
Can an algorithm assist a court without displacing judicial judgement? We examine the promise of artificial intelligence in legal research, and the enduring importance of reasons, transparency and human responsibility.
Technology is changing how legal work is organised, delivered and understood. Beyond digitising documents, what would it mean to design a legal practice around better access, clearer processes and informed professional judgement?
A digital record is only as useful as the confidence we can place in it. This article explores authenticity, preservation and the chain of custody in an increasingly connected evidential landscape.
Public access to legal information is a foundation, not a luxury. We consider how open judgements and well-structured legal data can help people understand the law and participate more meaningfully in the justice system.
Automated decisions do not remove human obligations. A closer look at how explanation, review and governance can help keep algorithmic systems accountable within a rights-based legal framework.
Data moves across borders more easily than legal protections do. We explore the questions Kenyan organisations should ask when assessing safeguards, oversight and accountability in international transfers.
What changes when a contract is treated as information as well as text? Structured approaches can reveal obligations, dates and dependencies, while leaving interpretation firmly within the lawyer’s domain.
Confidentiality in a digital practice depends on more than good intentions. We consider proportionate safeguards, incident preparedness and the professional responsibilities that accompany connected legal work.
The digital public square raises familiar constitutional questions in unfamiliar forms. This discussion considers participation, expression and the need for proportionate safeguards in digital governance.
