True?

"When information which properly belongs to the public is systematically withheld by those in power, the people soon become ignorant of their own affairs, distrustful of those who manage them, and eventually-incapable of determining their destinies."

President Richard Nixon 1972

Challenges of Open Data

-The Data Hugging Syndrome

-Lack of the Freedom of Information Act("In the freedom of information laws, governments are typically bound by duty to publish and promote openness")

-Slow digitization policies

-Lack of trust and the culture of openness

-Lack of an informed citizenry

Page 18: Government of Kenya open data initiative  @KenyaOpenData

Risks of Open Data

-Privacy and not making the data anonymous enough.

-Other Laws eg the Official Secrecy Act that binds civil servants from giving away government data
