    "content": " Thank you, very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also contribute. From the outset, I support this Bill. I would like to congratulate Hon. Osotsi for following his passion, this is what he has studied in school and he is trying to ensure this sector is properly regulated. The purpose of this Bill is to ensure there is proper training, registration, licensing and practising standards. As other Members have said, the world has become digital and everything we do in one way or another is digitised. So, for this reason, it is important for this Bill to be passed by this House. I can see it was published in 2020 and the wait has been very long. I would like to thank the House for ensuring it is prioritised. This Bill is going to ensure there are proper ethical considerations of what goes into our ICT systems. Today, if you want to know about anything in this world or our country which has embraced ICT at a very good level - I think over 60 per cent of Kenyans can access information using ICT. There will be proper ethical considerations of what we get using our gadgets. So, this is a very important Bill. This Bill also looks at not only the process of acquisition of information using our ICT systems but also ensures the products people get are taken through a vetting process by recognised institutions. So, for this reason I support this Bill. It will also ensure provisions on misuse of computer and cybercrimes are implemented in a good way. I do not know whether you have been a victim of computer bullying and misuse of the gadgets? I think this has happened to many politicians and more so, women Members of Parliament."
