"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, I want to congratulate my good brother, Hon. Gitonga Mukunji as the newly elected interim Chairperson of Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA). Young leadership must offer integrity as an irreducible minimum. Artificial intelligence is a complex issue and a matter that we have not even conversed with as far as the terms of our data protection laws are concerned. I do not understand how a private company entered into our sovereign soil and started harvesting the biodata of our young people, exploiting the economic situation and promising them heaven. Most of the young people of this country are saying it is just a scan on their iris. They are wondering why they cannot be scanned and for them to get some Ksh7,000. Why did the two concerned Cabinet Secretaries allow this to happen? How much biodata has the private company harvested as we speak? We need to know, and they must not leave this county before we get more information on what they are doing. We do not know what they will do with that information. The company is on record saying that they cannot provide sufficient information as to how they are going to develop the human identities that they claim they will develop. They are saying they want to build a single world currency. However, an Hon. Member has gone to the extent of saying that, maybe, our young people will just vanish into thin air. We must ensure that we protect them because we are the people who have been elected to represent their interests. Thank you."
