Interview with Lawyers Hub: Linda Bonyo and Catherine Moya

As governments move resources online, it is crucial to think through which citizens will be included and excluded from the new processes. Guests from the Kenya-based organisation Lawyers Hub, including CEO Linda Bonyo and lawyer Catherine Muya, discuss with former Data and Politics co-lead Varoon Bashyakarla the issues of access, the history of identity documents and challenges facing elections in Kenya today. Linda and Catherine explain how the colonial-based identity system can now lead to barriers to access for minority groups in Kenya. The conversation is centered around how technologists, civil society organisations and lawyers can work together to create solutions that are unique and best for Kenya.
