    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Roads and Transport regarding the potential infringement of the right to privacy by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). Hon. Speaker, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) operates in a highly data-oriented environment necessitating access to and use of personal information to fulfil its mandates. However, concerns have been raised by a significant number of Kenyans, particularly those in the car dealership industry, regarding potential data privacy breaches on the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) online platform. Regrettably, the NTSA portal does not provide an option for registered organisations to create their own independent accounts. This has compelled employees to open accounts on behalf of their companies, with the companies only able to link their data to an already authorised individual account. It is imperative to note that Article 31 of the Constitution guarantees the right of every person to privacy, including the right not to have information relating to their private affairs unnecessarily required or revealed. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson Departmental Committee on Roads and Transport on the following— 1. What measures are being taken to address the issue of registered organisations being unable to create or activate independent NTSA Accounts to avoid companies only having the option of linking their data to an authorised account? 2. What steps have been taken to protect citizens whose accounts are linked to an organisation’s transactions, given that the company’s transaction receipts display authorised persons' detail(s) instead of the company details, that is, the name, telephone number, email address and Identification number (ID)? and 3. What measures have been established to ensure that account sub-users with limited rights on transactions of major accounts do not intrude into the privacy of the authorised person’s personal data available on the e-Citizen platform?"
