Data protection commission begins prosecution of 47 defaulting companies


The Data Protection Commission has begun the prosecution of 47 institutions for failing to register in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2012 (Act 843). 

The prosecution follows the refusal of the entities to respond to a call by the Police to sort matters out. 

The heads of the prosecuted institutions could be fined up to six thousand Ghana cedis, two years imprisonment or both.
 
The Executive Director Of the Data Protection Commission, Mrs. Teki Akuetteh Falconer said the police have summoned them and are expected to appear in court today.
