"content": "Going into the elections, this would be the tool. The 2007-2008 Post Election Violence (PEV) was fanned by radio stations. Election violence in Kenya is fanned through the internet by fake news, pseudo accounts. Politicians all over the place, including many of us, use the internet to fan ethnic hatred. I have seen part of it ongoing because of the by-election in Kiambaa. Nobody follows those people who kill people on internet and type things about people because we do not have a police monitoring unit that is supposed to identify you because your phone has a specific identity. The reason the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is able to trace people is because of technology that can trace you from wherever you are. I can assure you that lady knows what they are doing. Mostly likely she has run away. The solution to what Sen. Iman has said is to have a unit that will stop young children from watching pornography and people from using the internet to reach to them. Sen. Cheruiyot asked for a Statement which I do not know whether it has been answered by our Committee on Finance and Budget. It is about people who use gadgets to steal from Kenyans. Mobile lending is still misuse of the internet. It is a serious issues touching on moral issues, conmen and pseudo accounts. Those who want to defame people’s characters have now found a group of people called bloggers who are paid very little amounts of money to defame the characters of people and you have no recourse because you cannot even sue them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
