This is an interesting one. 

On one hand, I feel that for governance purposes that might not necessarily be a bad idea. However several questions need to be interrogated:-

1. What are other jurisdictions doing in that score? For example, the GDPR implementation in Europe. What is the organizational structure around it? 
2. Did the parliamentary committee overstep its mandate by asking for this? What is their expertise in this area?
3. What are the hidden reasons for this? As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to politicians look for non-verbal communication.

Dear Listers,

The parliamentary committee that investigated the recent Worldcoin saga made several recommendations that, among others, are stated on page 115, Section 6(d), as follows:

Amend the Data Protection Act, 2019 to provide for a Board where the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) reports to or accounts to on its daily operations.

Do you agree? https://www.kictanet.or.ke/why-the-data-commissioner-should-or-shouldnt-report-to-a-board/
