On this privacy debate, we must remember that the reason why the register is published is for the public to inspect the register and verify its integrity- remember the cases of dead voters being on the register etc. We decided a while back to do away with the voters card which had the voter's number. This is how the national ID came to be the primary ID for the voters register. The Register is supposed to be published outside the chief's office (or such other public place) for anyone interested to inspect it. In light of the digital age, maybe we ought to consider returning the voters number (without the card) and publish this instead of national ID number. It is a balancing act between privacy and access to information. @Tony White, it is natural for people to inspect the register with whatever lenses but the Electoral Code of Conduct forbids goon behaviour. 2017-07-20 11:01 GMT+03:00 Tony White via kictanet < [email protected]>:
Walu, sort of my point. In the absence of a privacy law, there is no recourse when personal information is made public - by whoever.
In this case IEBC is correct to just publish statistics.
My 'nosy' side would love to trawl through the database - "Oooh, look where ($name) is registered. I must visit ($pollingStation) with my goons" ;)
Cheers, Tony
True that Tony. But here is the news - Kenya has NO data protection law or policy. So anything flows and goes. walu.

On the other hand, I do not want **anyone** listing my name and ID number for anyone to scrape and mis-use.
Revealing personal information is **not** 'transparency' - it's a breach of data privacy!
Cheers, Tony

[image: Inline image 1] What an ICT lie with this IEBC to put a link for access to a register and then have STATISTICS ON REGISTERED VOTERS/ DISTRIBUTION OF REGISTERED VOTERS. It is so dishonest a move by such a Credible body especially to people in ICT.
