    "content": "with Sen. Catherine Mumma, I post her number online and tell people: “Do this or the other to her”. That is violation of data privacy. We do not see any recourse or guidance on such issues from the office of the Data Commissioner. Given that this matter that is being raised is specific, there are quite a number of violations that have happened in the last few days. Would I be in order if I request the Committee on ICT to guide us in ensuring that we have the data protection office perhaps make an appearance before that particular committee, or even the Committee of the Whole, so that we can find ways in which we ensure that the data of citizens is protected from people who may want to use it for whatever reason, including fraudsters or people who want to use it for political reasons because a violation is a violation? There have been continuous violations over the last few months with very little effort or guidance from the Data Commissioner. I expect that Sen. Alan Chesang, together with the ICT team, will lead us into making proper findings, so that as we pass future legislation, we can secure the data of citizens and ensure that those who breach privacy are punished by law. I thank you."
