    "content": "action, not just on Shakahola, but what is now being described by Hon. Junet Mohamed as the new Shakahola in data harvesting. We commend the quick action by the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration. In our meeting this afternoon when he brought this statement, he assured the country that they have not just stopped these people from collecting any more data, but they have also ensured that all data they have collected has been seized. It is now with some of the agencies under the Ministry of Information, Communication and Digital Economy, being analysed to ensure that there is no data that had been carted away to the cloud. They are working on it, but were very cautionary that we do not jeopardise the ongoing investigations in whatever we say. I am, therefore, restricted as to the other information he has confided in me as to what they are doing. I just want to give the people of Kenya the highest assurances that whatever data had been collected has been secured and is in the hands of investigative agencies. Lastly, the Office of the Data Commissioner cautioned Kenyans as to the activities of this company. As I said yesterday, Kenyans are too eager to collect money from any person for whatever reason. I just want to caution them not to rush to getting money from sources they do not know. What if they are people who are engaged in terrorist activities? It is true that if you speak to people from the North, they will give you harrowing stories of young people, taxi drivers, people who do courier work, who have been used and enticed using money. At times, it is not a lot of money. They could be given Ksh5,000 or Ksh10,000 and they end up being entangled in terrorist activities. They get arrested and end up suffering as terrorists, yet they were probably just enticed with small money. Let me use this opportunity to ask Kenyans to be cautious whenever they get people offering them money. In the words of Hon. Mary Emaase; ‘‘there is no free lunch’’. There is no free money. Do not exchange anything that is not out of a productive economic activity for cash. It may be detrimental to your wellbeing in future."
