    "content": "As you have said, I have got three minutes left. I was at data protection. Now, I will proceed to duplication of information. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill will help us in identifying duplicated processes. Let us say, for example, in a place like Marsabit and Upper North Eastern, people do not know how to read and write. Therefore, if that data is kept in a system, you can even come after a year and definitely find that your data has been kept well. The other issue I want to raise is that currently the digital system is helping us also in so many places. As I said earlier, our people are traveling all the way to Ethiopia simply because of inefficiency in the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). If this Bill goes through, it will be good for people because they will be able to access their documentation wherever they will be. Additionally, currently in Marsabit, there is issue on item number eight, on Clauses 46 and 47. This one deals with health tourism. As I said earlier, our people are going to Ethiopia and in some instances India to seek medical treatment. If this Bill goes through, we will have people coming to Kenya, not people leaving Kenya and going to Ethiopia or even India. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before we got the 2010 Constitution, when the District Commissioners were in charge of the districts, our hospitals were having medication. People were coming all the way from Ethiopia to our hospitals in a place called Sololo, Moyale and as far as Marsabit. Unlike today, our people are doing their tourism health service in Ethiopia and some in India. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I want to urge my fellow Senators to support this Bill. This is a very good Bill; good for Kenyans and good for where I come from, Marsabit County. I thank you."
