Ulipata jina yako kwa register ya political party flani na hata hujaregister na hiyo party? Hiyo ni violation ya your personal data na freedom ya kujichagulia political party. Kama hii right yako imekuwa violated, file a complaint with the @ODPC_KE. #FichaUchi#DataRightsKE

The recent revelations of involuntary registration of Kenyans to political parties is a gross violation of Kenyans right to privacy and their right join a political party of their choice. We urge those whose information has been breached to file a complaint with @ODPC_KE.
RE: Mukhisa Kituyi and Bridget Achieng, in Petition 361 of 2016, High Court stated, Publication of a person’s private photographs by unauthorised person without the owner’s consent is a violation of the person’s right to privacy. Awarded KES 1 million damages to former Miss Kenya

No person should be bullied, harassed or intimidated by the threat of public disrepute by disclosing images identifiable with them. Mukhisa Kituyi, Achieng and all others subjected cyber-bullying, body-shaming and revenge porn do not deserve this.
