The Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy, Hon. William Kabogo, has officially launched the Nyeri Regional Office of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC), in a move aimed at enhancing access to data protection services across the country.
The launch event was attended by Data Commissioner Immaculate Kassait, ICT Authority Board Director Salvio Wambugu, and Regional ICT Officer James Mburu.
