While undergoing vetting, new Data Commissioner Immaculate Kassait’s former role put her in an awkward position.
Kassait was until last month the director of voter education partnerships and communications at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), a body that is no stranger to controversy over the handling of personal data.
In the 2017 General Election, employees from the elections watchdog disclosed the personal data of millions of registered voters such as names, phone numbers and ward locations to political aspirants.
