Tanzanian Parliament expected to receive Personal Information Protection Bill

Tanzania’s Personal Information Protection Bill is expected to be read in Parliament for the first time by the end of September, according to Information, Communications and Information Technology Minister Nape Nnauye. Nnauye said once the bill passes in Parliament, it is expected to be signed into law by President Samia Suluhu Hassan. The bill was crafted in response to online services selling citizens’ personal data without their consent.
