Even with the proposal to have three members from the Council of Governors (CoG), the Cabinet Secretary still has powers to appoint those members. Therefore, this digital health agency contradicts the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also have a problem with the roles of the Agency, the Cabinet Secretary and the Director General for health; they are jumbled up. The Cabinet Secretary is going to handle matters, which I think, are routine such as, managing data in all the life cycle of data. That should be the role of the agency. The agency has been established, but the Cabinet Secretary for Health is undertaking routine roles that are supposed to be taken by the Agency. This Bill ignores Senate and refers to the National Assembly. I think it should talk about Parliament so that health being a devolved function, Senate must have a say. This Bill also talks about establishing registries in counties and the national level, but it does not talk about the involvement of our governors or county governments. That is why I find it very offending to the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I wind up, this Bill is going to help us manage data, yet, nowhere in this Bill does it talk about the very important aspect of cybercrime. This is because, you are going to put peoples’ data out there, but how are you going to manage cybercrime? It talks about data being strategic national data, but it does not refer to computer---"
