Kenyan marketing company WPP Scangroup and its founding chief executive, Bharat Thakrar, are locked in a legal fight over laptop logins, WhatsApp messages and use of personal data in a row that has entangled the data commissioner.
The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner on Tuesday ordered the Kenya firm, its parent company (WPP) and risk consultancy firm (Control Risks Group) to pay Mr Thakrar Sh1.95 million for personal data breaches.
