    "content": "In terms of Fire Arms Act, this is editorial. It is just to rename the Commissioner of Police as Inspector-General. The Official Secrets Act is also one of the other Bills being proposed. This is to define some of the terms including what data is and what telecommunication apparatus are. It is meant to harmonise it with modern technology. Production of data by a person who also controls any communication apparatus used for sending and receiving data to and from Kenya, is placed within the ambit of Official Secrets Act. On the Kenya Roads Board Act, the amendment seeks to provide for the minimum number of meetings the board can have at any given time. Under the Mwongozo Code the board is told they must hold a meeting every month but the general standard is, at least, not more than four meetings in a year. This is for good governance. On Statistics Act, again we are looking at giving the board the power to cancel, revise or adjust data, if it is found to be inaccurate. So long as data has inaccuracies, it is of no use to anyone, hence we need to give the board the opportunity, once inaccuracy has been established, to cancel that data so that nobody can depend or use it for decision-making."
