    "content": "subscriber identity module (SIM) card will be supposed to register it. It is now a legal requirement. Also, the Bill does away with the notion of hawking of SIM cards. We have seen for instance in this country Kenyans suffering as a result of emerging crimes like terrorism, and particularly in Murang’a County where we have situations where Kenyans, or even people in my county, are taken hostage. We have several instances where people have been abducted and communication on phones has been one of the key factors making that emerging crime to really escalate. So, with this enactment it is now legal for the police to go and request a service provider to disclose information relating to a communication. Also, a criminal proceedings may compel a service provider to disclose information to an entity that is investigating crime. That is something that is very new in this country. Hon. Speaker, another important issue concerning the new law is the introduction of a fund into which various service providers are supposed to put part of their earnings. I can foresee that fund being used by the Government to foster new communication entities; therefore, I am very happy today we have been able to go through this Bill, which is now on its way to becoming a new law. Thank you."
