Kenya

In 1963, the Kenyan Constitution protected privacy in the home and other property in Article 14(c) (Kenya Law, “1963 Constitution”). Article 23(1) protected correspondence from interference.

Today, Article 31 of the 2010 Kenyan Constitution gives every person the right to privacy in their person, home, possessions, family life, and correspondence (Constitute Project, “Kenya 2010 Constitution”).
