    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to address this House. Since the time is very limited, I will contribute to Sen. Oketch Gicheru's Statement. The question of data is a matter of life and death. Our data cannot be handled in the manner it is being handled. Safaricom was accused for aiding state agents to track and abduct citizens. However, up to this time, it has not responded. We are also having a situation where Government institutions are still using Google. Therefore, the Government does not understand how critical data is. When you go to the Judiciary, they are using free applications to do stuff. It is high time that the Government took the question of data seriously and went ahead to ensure that people are protected. We have also seen that they want us to register our mobile devices with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Which mechanism are they using? Why should the Government snoop and spy on us? We cannot allow it. Safaricom must be call out and brought to this House to account for its activities. We are not negotiating. It has been implicated in so many crimes. We cannot allow this one to pass. I thank you. 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."
