The Data Protection Commissioner is the independent regulator of data protection in Kenya. The Commissioner is appointed by the President and reports to Parliament.

The Commissioner has a wide range of powers to protect personal data, including the power to investigate complaints, conduct audits, and impose sanctions. The Commissioner can also order the disclosure of personal data in certain circumstances.

The Data Protection Act sets out the rules for data protection in Kenya, and gives the Commissioner the power to enforce those rules. The Act applies to all organisations that process personal data, including businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organisations.

Organisations must take steps to protect personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. They must also ensure that personal data is accurate and up-to-date.

Organisations that process personal data must disclose their contact details to the Commissioner, and must appoint a Data Protection Officer. The Data Protection Officer is responsible for ensuring that the organisation complies with the Data Protection Act.
