    "content": "Thirdly, a question has been asked on the money that was promised to Kenyans in exchange for their data. I would not like to speak a lot on this area because we have made great steps in the investigations and I do not want to pre-empt them, but allow me to say that as security managers and as the Ministry of Interior, what raised a red flag was the monetary inducement. For us, that is one of the earliest indications. The moment it became apparent that that exercise that was done for two days, and on the third day we were clear crimes were being conducted from where we sit. That inducement for us is an area of concern. The other red flag other than the area of inducement is that we suspect again that our understanding of the data protection law is that processors of data must obtain consent. We are of the opinion that if at all any consent was sought, which is doubtful, that consent was not informed consent and that is why we believe we will pin down people. It is just a matter of time. A question has been asked whether we are investing in crime prevention and I want to answer in the affirmative. Going forward, we are increasingly investing and concentrating on preventing crimes before they happen or arresting crimes in the earliest opportunity and I think this is an important clarification without overly interfering with ordinary activities that are allowed under the law. So, by the time we come in, we must have reasonable grounds to suspect that crimes have been committed."
