In other legal matters, two members of the Kenya Bankers SACCO Society Limited filed a constitutional petition seeking Sh5 billion in compensation, accusing the leadership of large-scale fraud and mismanagement. Additionally, the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) ordered Liquid Telecommunications Kenya Ltd to pay Sh700,000 for unlawfully processing personal data, marking a significant action under Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019.
