[File, Standard]Kenyans wrongfully listed as members of political parties have been advised to file complaints to be removed from those party lists. “The office of the Data Protection Commissioner acknowledges those who have already taken action to exercise their rights under Data Protection Act, 2019,” read the statement. Data Protection Commissioner Immaculate Kassait while calling for patience among the affected Kenyans, assured Kenyans that her office is taking steps to ensure Kenyans data are protected. They accused the office of the registrar of political parties and various political parties of violations of data protection law. The office of the Registrar of Political Parties last week defended itself from the accusations, saying they don’t register members on behalf of political parties.
