Kenya has been ranked as the best among African countries in the Privacy Index, a score that measures the general level of compliance with data protection and privacy laws.
According to a report by Privacy Symposium Africa, Kenya was ranked number one with 40 per cent in the data protection and privacy index compared to Rwanda, Tanzania, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, and Uganda, which scored 30, 29, 35, 25, and 38 per cent, respectively.
While Kenya emerged top, the privacy index, however, dropped compared to last year's record. ''Compared to last year's score of 47.3 per cent, this year's overall index score was 40 per cent, with Kenya recording the highest score.
This was followed by Uganda, Mauritius, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe," the report read in part.
