a third party. I think what we have witnessed in Kenya especially during the
run-up to the 2013 election where so many people found themselves belonging to
various political parties without their knowledge and consent is a deep concern.
We also witnessed a lot of unnecessary texts to our cell phones from politicians
during the recent campaigns running to the 2017 elections. This means that the
‘data controllers’ can easily give out your information without any fear of
reprisals. As at now all Kenyans are exposed to <span style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: arial; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa" class="">privacy

information across international borders and therefore it is imperative that
personal protection data and privacy law be put in place to make sure that
Kenyans enjoy their fundamental rights and freedoms.</font></span></font></div>
