Our review of Kenya's Cybersecurity Strategy 2025-2029 reveals key gaps: over-criminalization, fragmented governance, and weak infrastructure protection. We call for a balanced approach: prevention, resilience, capacity building, and collaboration. https://t.co/EOCppvvOfE

The Office encourages Kenyans to exercise their rights to personal data privacy when engaging with public and private organizations.

During a sensitization session in Shauri Moyo, Nairobi led by Principal Data Protection Officer Valerie Kutima, the Office urged the public to utilize redress mechanisms if their personal data is misused through lodging complaints with the ODPC.

Other topics discussed included the legal bases for processing personal data, such as consent, contractual obligations, legal obligations, vital interests, public interest, legitimate interests, and uses for historical, statistical, journalistic, literary, and scientific research purposes.

This session is part of the national data protection advocacy program aimed at enhancing awareness of data protection across the country.

JOINT STATEMENT: The Kenyan government’s disgraceful decision to host the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its allied militias, infamous for their brutal reign of terror in Sudan, makes it complicit in mass atrocities against the Sudanese people.

Kenya’s unilateral move undermines Pan-Africanism by contradicting the African Union’s peace efforts in Sudan, led by the AU High-Level Panel and the AU Peace and Security Council Expanded Mechanism, which aim to engage all key parties involved in the conflict.

🚨 Yesterday Apple responded to a massive secret government power, removing data security options for millions of people. We think. We don't know - because it’s a secret power in law that shouldn’t have ever existed.

How the UK Government is making security harder for everyone 🫠

Why we believe that the UK Government’s secret power to undermine security everywhere is ridiculous, and disturbing

The UK's surveillance laws are now some of the most extensive in the world. Forcing Apple into a position where it removes e2ee in the UK sets a dangerous precedent.

Proton would never build a backdoor, but we wouldn't open the front door by removing our e2e encryption either.
