Enforcement Architecture Note: Uganda's PDPO issues declaratory orders only and lacks statutory authority to impose binding administrative fines. Monetary relief for data subjects requires court action. Criminal prosecution under the DPPA 2019 is the secondary enforcement mechanism, as demonstrated by the Nano Loans conviction. This dataset reflects publicly available decisions; enforcement records are limited. The PDPO website does not maintain a public searchable database of enforcement decisions. These 2025 cases represent Uganda's first significant DPPA enforcement actions and signal a shift from compliance guidance to active enforcement.
