Guideline On Information Sharing

The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 under Article 35 guarantees every citizen the right of access to information which is actualized under the Access to information Act, 2016. In ensuring implementation of this right, the Board has developed this guideline to ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity, utility and integrity of information disseminated by the Board.

This Guideline, in addition to the above, sets forth an administrative mechanism whereby the public can obtain information maintained and disseminated by the Board. Every employee making decisions or taking any action related to obtaining and using publicly available information must have regard to this guideline. The implementation of this guideline takes into account the Data Protection laws in Kenya.

We undertake to review these guidelines and incorporate up-to-date practices, as may be necessary for our setting to achieve public policy objectives.
