I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) regarding the alleged breach of confidential subscriber information by Safaricom. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Determine whether Kenyans have in the past four years, raised concerns about data breaches by Safaricom and outline the measures taken to address them. (2) Confirm whether Safaricom has data-sharing agreement with the government, including the data of its formulation and execution and whether subscribers were informed and consented to this agreement and provide a copy of that agreement. (3) Establish whether it is mandatory for Safaricom to collect and store subscriber data, such as location and to monitor calls to provide its services and clarify why similar practices are not required for other telecom providers. (4) Detail the safeguards Safaricom has in place to protect subscriber data when shared with third parties, either with or without court orders. (5) Determine why Safaricom receives higher volume of data breach complaints compared to other service providers. (6) Explain the discrepancy on access to subscriber data by the government and its agencies when tracking suspects but the same is not made available to assist subscribers in tracing lost phones. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
