I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Information, Communication and Technology on a matter of national concern regarding data management and security on the e-Citizen digital platform and the recently launched Maisha Number Digital Identification (ID) System. As the Government expands its digital identity and service delivery frameworks, there is growing public concern regarding the protection of personal data, consent mechanisms and the adequacy of infrastructure to prevent data breaches. In this Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The institutional safeguards in place to ensure that personal data collected through e-Citizen digital platforms and the recently launched Maisha Number Digital ID System is protected in accordance with the Data Protection Act, 2019. (2) The measures in place to ensure consent is sought and granted before collection or sharing of individual biometric or digital identity data. (3) Findings of any independent audit or risk assessment conducting the security architecture of the e-platform and Maisha Number system."
