Kenya’s Office of the Data
Protection Commissioner (ODPC) used the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Annual
Conference 2026 to engage legal professionals and other delegates on data
protection, privacy and compliance requirements.
Data Commissioner Immaculate
Kassait, SC, MBS, interacted with participants at the ODPC exhibition booth
during the conference, sharing perspectives and responding to questions on the
evolving data protection landscape.
The engagement provided an
opportunity for delegates to discuss practical issues surrounding data
protection and privacy, as well as the obligations of organisations handling
personal information.
The ODPC team also used the
conference to provide guidance on registration requirements for data
controllers and data processors and address questions relating to compliance
with Kenya’s data protection framework.
The participation reflects
the regulator’s continued efforts to increase awareness of data protection
obligations among professionals and organisations as the use of personal data
expands across Kenya’s digital economy.
