    "content": "Lastly, so that the other issues can be responded to by my colleague, the Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communications and the Digital Economy, is the issue as to whether perhaps there is anything else we could have done. There is a general feeling that the Government could have acted faster. Generally, we have made very good progress. We were able to freeze - at the point where the red flag was raised - the movement of any person, whether Kenyan or foreigner associated with that activity. We have on our radar all the people associated with this enterprise, entity. We are using our legal instruments on mutual legal assistance to ensure that those people as is likely to be the case, will be held accountable. We believe without pre-empting the investigations, that crimes have been committed, crimes against the Data Protection Act, privacy of the people of Kenya and crimes against the Penal Code. We will hold those people who have committed them accountable, whether they are Kenyans or not. We have within our radar all the people of interests. The local ones have recorded statements and we will also be requesting the surrender of those who are outside our territory so that they can also record statements. Finally, we believe that what happened on the eCitizen platform was an attempt to hack and not hacking as it were. We have taken seriously upscaling of the system under the MC4 which brings together the Interior Ministry as the coordinating agency, Department of Defence, ICT and NIS. Kenyans should not fear technology, but be very alert so that technology does not bring our national interest into disarray. There is no cause for alarm on both issues; the Worldcoin and the attempted hacking of our eCitizen platform. We are alert and remain amenable to the input of Parliament so that we can improve our systems and serve our country better."
