Taifa LeoThe Swahili publication reported that two human rights advocacy groups have criticised Safaricom over allegations of colluding with security officers by sharing customer data. The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and the Muslims for Human Rights (Muhuri) organisation have written to Fred Waithaka, Safaricom's Head of Public Policy and Governance. The groups expressed their concerns over this collaboration, emphasising that the police relying on such data often have a history of violating human rights. These allegations have sparked a broader debate on the role of telecommunications companies in protecting human rights and the privacy of their users, particularly in contexts where security agencies have a record of rights violations.
