    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to congratulate Sen. Halake for having thought of this important Statement. Cyber-crime and data insecurity in the country is rising. Data and privacy is a constitutional right of everyone. This technology is exposing even the social being of the citizens. I hope you direct this Statement to the Committee of National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations and the Committee of Information, Communication and Technology. The committees should tell us the role that the institutions concerned play in terms of the implementation of two important Bills. We passed the Data Protection Bill and also another Bill that this House has passed on Computer Misuse and Cyber Crime Act 2018 and it was gazetted. Why was it not implemented? Why are we not implementing these very important Bills that we passed and Parliament? These Bills are passed to protect the misuse of technology not only on the leadership and governance but also on our children. Our young children are exposed to information that they are not supposed to access. In terms of security, our data is not protected. This Committee should look at the implementation of these two important Bills and give an assurance to the House that our data is safe. Recently, Members have been subjected to a lot of torture, where your information or data is moved from one party to another without your permission. So, we have been asking ourselves who gives this data to these mushrooming parties to register you without your permission. It is high time that this House and especially the Committee to assure Kenyans of their privacy in terms of the use of technology. I thank you."
