Ziyad: Giving Ihsan Data Protection Oversight Is Like Putting Dracula in Charge of a Blood Bank
Vaikaradhoo MP Hussain Ziyad criticized entrusting Home Minister Ali Ihusan with enforcement of the Personal Data Protection Bill, comparing it to putting Dracula in charge of a blood bank. During Parliament debate, Ziyad claimed that on his island, about 400 people were registered to the PNC using personal data without consent, and that Ihusan admitted to this. He argued that laws remain ineffective when individuals like Ihusan hold such positions. The bill was submitted by West Henveiru MP Ali Ibrahim.
