    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, on Thursday, 2nd May 2024, the Member for Butere, Hon. Tindi Mwale, requested for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the potential infringement of the right to privacy by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). In the Statement, he sought to, among other things: 1. Establish the measures being taken to address the issue of registered organisations being unable to create or activate independent NTSA accounts to avoid companies only having the options of linking their data to unauthorised accounts. 2. Steps that have been taken to protect citizens whose accounts are linked to an organisation's transactions given the company's transaction receipts display authorised persons details instead of the company's details such as the name, telephone number, email address, and identity card or identity number. 3. The measures that have been established to ensure that the accounts of users with limited rights on transactions of major accounts do not intrude into the privacy of the authorised persons personal data available on the eCitizen platform. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Committee received a response from the Ministry of Roads, Transport and Public Works during a meeting held on 30th July 2024, which I now wish to make. 1. Regarding the measures being taken to address the issue of registered organisations being unable to create or achieve independent NTSA accounts to avoid companies only having the option of linking their data to an unauthorised account, the Ministry submitted that NTSA is not considering providing independent organisations accounts, since it creates cybersecurity issues and lacks accountability. It is also not possible to know who controls these generic accounts at any time. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
