Incident 17702 Report
Kenya's Public Broadcaster Violated Employees' Privacy with Mandatory Facial Recognition Attendance, Court Found

2025-09-15

Kenya's High Court found that the state-owned Kenya Broadcasting Corporation unlawfully collected employees' facial biometrics for mandatory attendance without informed consent or a prior data protection impact assessment. The broadcaster conceded the union's case. The court quashed the rollout and ordered deletion of collected data under regulatory supervision, including measures to ensure third parties retained no copies.
