Version 11 November 2026 · Membership registration
Who is responsible for your data
Mashinani People’s Movement (MPM) is responsible for membership information collected through this portal. Contact the Party Secretariat at headquarters at Wu Yi Plaza, House A10, Galana Road, Kilimani, Nairobi (P.O. Box 16923-00100), or info@mpm.or.ke for privacy enquiries.
Purpose and legal framework
Membership administration, eligibility checks and statutory reporting are governed by the Political Parties Act (Cap. 7D), the Political Parties (Membership) Regulations, 2021 and the Data Protection Act, 2019. MPM must establish an appropriate lawful basis for each use, minimise collection and protect personal data. Optional sensitive information is processed only with explicit consent or another applicable lawful basis.
Information and consent
The form collects name, ID or passport, birth date, sex, mobile and location, with optional contact and sensitive details. Ethnicity and religion are optional and can be left blank. Disability status is asked as yes or no. NCPWD particulars are requested only where disability is selected. The declaration that you are not a member of another party, your consent to processing and ORPP disclosure, and any consent for sensitive details are recorded separately with a timestamp and statement version. Optional details do not determine membership eligibility.
Diaspora members
Associate / Diaspora members provide their country of residence, city or postal code and Kenyan passport or National ID. Where data is processed across borders, MPM applies the transfer safeguards of the Data Protection Act, 2019.
ORPP verification and disclosure
Required membership particulars may be disclosed to the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) for verification, register reconciliation and statutory reporting. ORPP may check affiliation against other parties’ records. Consent to this disclosure does not authorise unrelated marketing or public publication of your ID.
Where your data is kept
Membership records are stored in a secured database run for MPM by Supabase, hosted in Frankfurt, Germany. Storing data outside Kenya is a cross-border transfer under the Data Protection Act, 2019, and MPM applies the safeguards that Act requires. Access is limited to the Party Secretariat staff described below.
Your rights
Under the Data Protection Act, you may request information about processing, access to your data, correction of inaccurate data, restriction or objection where applicable, and erasure where permitted. You may withdraw optional consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. Statutory recordkeeping obligations may limit erasure. You may complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) through its official channels. Contact the Secretariat for a rights request; identity will be checked privately.
Security, retention and staff access
Access is limited to at most three invited staff accounts, with role-based permissions. Agents see only the members they registered. ID and phone numbers are hidden on screen, and every view of a full number, every change and every export is recorded in an audit log that cannot be edited. MPM retains records only for membership administration, legal obligations and dispute resolution, under a documented retention schedule. Resignation changes membership status rather than immediately deleting required records.
