TOWN HALL: WELCOME TO MY HUSTLE!
Kenya’s Digital Economy is proving to be a key driver of overall economic growth and opportunity for Kenya’s young people. However, the sector is also experiencing growing pains including policy gaps, legal issues, and creator development challenges. In addition, there is the new tax regime codified in the Finance Act and the ever-looming threat of misinformation and defamation by certain bad actors.
To discuss these and other emerging issues, the host of The Social Newsroom Mark Masai was joined by some of the most prominent players in the business Adelle Onyango, Eddie Butita, Njugush, and Claudia Naisabwa for a Town Hall on Kenya’s digital economy held at Baraza Media Lab on the evening of Monday the 7th of August 2023. Also present were other notable creators and stakeholders. The aim of the town hall was to come up with tangible proposals to guide the future of this critical sector.
