    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank all colleagues who have taken their time to contribute to this Bill. I have listened to their comments, many of them in support, as it is the nature of law-making. I once heard a seasoned legislator before I joined Parliament say that just as it is unpleasurable to watch sausage being made, the work of law-making also is not a very beautiful exercise. You will hardly agree on everything. There are many things that people view differently. By and large, I agree with the words of Sen. Omogeni, a Member of the Committee on Health. When he rose to contribute, he said that these Bills should take a bipartisan manner given their nature and importance. They have taken time to explain many of the concerns that Members have on data protection, including the laws that have been laid. I listened to Sen. Osotsi--- If he was here, I would have helped him appreciate that we make laws because there is no one law which is self-sufficient in as far as meeting or mitigating whatever undesired effects that could come out of it. For example, there are issues of how this data will be protected. You must remember that in the year 2019 in this same House, we passed the data protection laws. On matters of protecting data that have been set out for a particular purpose, that is a superseding or overarching law in terms of providing for that, we do not have to put it in every law. I have heard him make that comment on almost every other Bill that we pass here. He asks how this data will be protected. There are many such instances. I could even close with the comments by Sen. Sifuna, which I have listened to, about the composition of many of these agencies. We could debate, improve and make it better."
