    "content": "I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for that correction. I have in mind the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). I was saying that if the data collected by the Ministry of Health is required by the Ministry of Education, the KNBS should have a window which can help them to access that data faster without going through the Bureau. This will avoid delays in getting the data. There is a lot bureaucracy in getting information from the Ministries. Some of them have even delayed development. I have in mind some investors who came from Europe to carry out development projects within the City of Nairobi. However, getting authority from the Planning Department took them through hell and they packed up their bags and went back to Europe. This happened because releasing such a small bit of information to go and start some development was not forthcoming in time. As such, data is so important that if a window is not created for different Ministries and departments to collaborate, either through the KNBS or directly; though it will take place, the time consumed and money wasted might not even be worth the KNBS data that is being kept under lock and key and not released in time to the right people, because of some prohibitive clause within the Bill. It states that only the Director-General would release the data, and at his discretion and as he so wishes. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
