Safaricom has been ordered to pay KShs 9,900,000.00 in total, that’s KShs 900,000.00 to each of the 11 petitioners for violating their constitutional rights to privacy, dignity and consumer protection.
The court found that Safaricom employees had accessed and shared private data, including financial transactions, betting activity,
and location details, with third parties such as betting companies.
Safaricom tried to blame “rogue employees,” but the court rejected that argument and held the company fully responsible as the data controller.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye made it clear that privacy is not just a paper right. Once personal data is exposed on that scale, the harm is real.
I feel that the compensation should have been higher.
