    "content": "This is a serious issue because if you have been a solid member of a party, you pay party fees and do your duties loyally but, eventually, you are told that you are not a member of that party. That is a serious issue that needs to be addressed especially at a time like this. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) should also be clear and tell Kenyans how solid members found themselves in other parties. They should come on board and answer that. There is also need for the IEBC to listen to cases. For instance, if a leader has been a solid member of a certain party and they have evidence of what they have been doing but they are said to be members of another party at a time like this, then the IEBC should listen to such cases and put members in their right spaces. I agree with Sen. Halake that cyberbullying is real even for our children because they have access to cyber cafes. Their minds are still young but they are getting polluted by some information from the media. As a teacher by profession, I can tell you that media has very bad addiction to children. They are exposed to cyberbullying because of the nature of studies nowadays where they have to use laptops and the internet. You cannot control what your children are viewing. Sometimes children are shown how to smoke, drink and wife battering. Since they are young, they might think that is the right thing to do. There is need for the agency to come out strongly. The Ministry of ICT, Innovation and Youth Affairs should also explain to Kenyans what they are doing to ensure that our children and leaders are not affected by cyberbullying. I am still wondering how they got my documents and details. There is need for personal data protection. A framework needs to be put in place to ensure that people’s data are secure and are not used badly. In the same breath, people can use your details to acquire a loan from a bank or take your property and all that. There is need for this country to put the right measures in place. They should investigate in depth whether the information that is given about members using the internet is rightfully from the members or not. I hope that when this Statement goes to the right committee, this matter will be investigated so as to ensure that Kenyans are free to use the cyber and their information will not be used against them. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support."
